[committee] Fwd: [ucc] Free to good home: Amiga 1000

[Scott Young]

I know nothing about Amigas. Does anybody think this is worth
accepting (after all, it is free) and keeping around the clubroom?

I could probably pick it up off Damian, as I work with him, but I'm
not going to bother lugging it back to UCC if it's just going to be a
piece of junk that sits in the clubroom taking up room, and nobody
ever uses it.

Free: Amiga 1000 (yes, the original Amiga)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1000

The last time I turned it on it worked just fine (don't know how many
years ago). I assume it still does, but I haven't tested it lately.

1985, eat your heart out.

Includes:
- All original hardware (including monitor, mouse, keyboard)
- Blazing 7.09 MHz CPU
- Probably has 512KB of RAM (I forget)
- Extra genuine Amiga external floppy drive
- Good ol' Kickstart and Amiga Workbench included
- Graphics and audio capabilities years ahead of its time
- Heaps of games included (approx 2 kg.)
- 1 Joystick

Free to UCC, if UCC wants it. Otherwise, free to the first taker.
