;-D yes, I know all about the Lust for power. I'm hooked on my new A2000/GVP 33 Mhz '030 Combo Board. Makes using my Amiga fun again! (been spoiled by the high speeds of my '386 based dos machines). Only problem is, I'm expecting a knock at the door by the Secret Service wanting to confiscate it. Two friends of the kid I bought it from where just arrested by the Secret Service in what's being called the largest computer crime and credit card fraud case in Nevada history. They were using their Amiga to break into Equifax and were using the credit card info to buy things mail order. While I have no reason to believe the kid I bought mine from was involved, guilt by association is rearing it's ugly head, and I have no problem seeing a scenario where the SS investigates them, tracks the charges down, contacts a dealer, gets the serial numbers, then the kid tells them he sold it to me. At which point they come take it from me as evidence. So I lose out on the purchase price, plus my new toy. And just when I'm getting used to it!
