The following equipment is for sale: Amiga 2000 – 2 floppies, 2MB chip RAM (MegaChip 2000), WB2.04 GVP Combo 030/50 – 8MB 32-RAM, Quantum 52MB HD This is a great system to add a used Toaster to. I'm not sure what the going rates are for the above, I suppose best offer over $1500 is a good start – if that's too high I'm sure I'l get a lot of messages telling me so … I'm only about 80% sure I want to sell so I'll be taking offers for probably at least a week or so … I'd appreciate the buyer paying for shipping as I'm still trying to recover from 6 months of not working … If someone wants only the A2000 and HD, they'll have to get their own SCSI controller as the HD is on the accellerator. Please send EMAil if interested.

>…as I'm still trying to recover from 6 months of not working…< Harry, Does that mean that you are now once again gainfully employed? I hope things are going well for you!

Michael – Yep. I'm with American Megatrends, Inc. (the AMI BIOS people) here in Atlanta. Took about a 30% pay cut vs. what I was making in Miami, but one hurricane is more than enough for me … They're supposed to have a really good bonus (10-30% of gross) so I'm waiting breathlessly for the end of the year when profits are calculated 8^).

Harry, Can you give me a good dal on an AMI motherboard? 🙂 //Jonathan, \\//via AutPilot

Jonathan – Wish I could 8^) but I'm Engineering, not Sales … Harry

Harry, That's _great_. I'm glad to hear that you landed a position with a solid company and I hope the bonus plan more than makes up for the pay cut. How do you like Atlanta so far?

Michael – I'm finding Atlanta to be a lot like Miami was a decade or so ago, when English was still the predominant language and it wasn't quite so crowded. Every city has its parts of town that it's best to stay out of, so that hasn't been a problem, but it has plenty of movie theatres, malls, etc. within a 20-30 minute maximum drive that I'm getting more comfortable all the time. And there's an Amiga dealer just down the road from work! 8^) Now if I can just build a rapport with him the way I did with my dealer in Miami (on a first name basis with the last 3 owners, etc.) maybe I can get my discount back …
