1. I still have mine too, and it still works...
Used to play games on it up untill about 1998. Space Rogue was my favorite, with Mr. Do a close second.

2. So how many attempts to revive Amiga /Commodore have failed so far?
Feels like half a dozen.

Well, I have donated my old stuff to the local Computer Gaming Museum.

6. At least a half dozen
I remember in 91 I was trying to decide on a new Amiga or a PC.. Let's just say I'm very glad I moved to the PC at that point. I was 100% Amiga and Commodore since the early 80's.

7. Hehe
That's probably the worst computer ever produced. Even the Timex Sinclair with the membrane keyboard was better. Nothing like a daisy wheel printer that prints at 2 cps. :)
