£45 actually :-) Might make it worthwile!

Kanga. Only Apple would come up with that :-)

Eeep! I did consider a TP 240 before the 560Z came along, need
something small you see, thats discreet and takes up little room, as I
have limited space, and my room is shit tip two days after I tidied it, agh!

Oh the miggies were quite popular over here in their day, I did use the
Archimedes at primary school, Pinpoint sticks out in my mind. Although
I presume the Germans are still the most ardent Amiga users, wouldn't
use one now, too out of date for what I personally need. Though AmigaOS
was very funky to program in C, I seem to recall one of the window
attributes being given a rather odd name, namely WA_GimmeZeroZero, hehe.

Yes, and all the rest that goes with it.... ;-) Computing is by far the
only reach of my interests and talents, thats what you get for being
very active minded and also an insomniac, eeek! Also into writing,
drawing, painting, poetry, singing, dancing, DJ'ing (yep I can mix the
records on the 1s and 2s) and the rest...
Little wonder it was at the tender age of 8 I was programming my
Commodore 64 in BASIC...
*shakes head*
