Sods law

Postby Bumcake » Wed May 02, 2012 8:18 pm

Our Mk1 Philips monitor had a major sulk resulting in a £60 repair :shock:
No sooner had it come back home after it's surgical procedure I find another mk2 monitor less than 5 miles away, hardly used and the owner let me take it away for the tiny fee of £10 :freakout:
Nevermind it looks alot nicer than the Sony Trinatron I had set up for the C64, better still my son has kindly donated me one of his spare A1200 which is now busy blasting out demo's.

Thats my idea of retro heaven, an Amiga on continuous demo scene music rotation. Good memories of this I have.
