You too. It got to that point where my 8MB 28 MHz Amiga would require
more to upgrade it than buying a PC. Oh sad day and Commmodore I hate

I started using the net with the Amiga with no real support from Demon
until you downloaded a GUI TCP stack from their ftp stack. Doing that
was a good introduction into Unix.

Once I get a USB card in this old thing, a USB modem and Mandrake 9.1
(Thanks Elise) installed one thing I intend to do is install the AmiWM
for that old time feel.
