WOW what a day
Hi Everyone newbie on the boards.
Just an ordinary Thursday at work where I work for a small recycling firm where rather than dump anything thats still working if we can and its safe it gets reused. Welll sitting there having a cup of tea the office lady came in and said "there's a lady here with a computer can you take a look"? Went out with the lady to her car opened the box and WOW  There sitting there was an Amiga 500+ and monitor + loads of games the main man was out so i said we would take it so quickly took it in the workshop and quickly set it up.  nothing dead as a dodo so I told the lady in the office who rang the lady who was quite adamant that it worked so I rechecked all the connections still nothing not to be detered I thought it through logically all set up correct what can it be then it hit me  lets check the fuse and  we have lift of the green light came on.So I powered it down and thought well Id better check a couple of games lets see what we got Super Hang On (last time Id played this on my Amiga was 20 year ago) so I fell of a few times  the rest of the day was checking all the games worked ok .The main man said we will struggle to sell it I know one thing that will not be going in the skip.
