Funnily enough that's exactly what I'm thinking of doing next year. Have the loft converted then it will be my domain. No one will dare enter!

I heartily recommend it. A friend converted his a little while after and he's christened it the pr0n lopht... Mine contains only the stuff that Zetr0 and EVO car magazine enthusiasts would find arousing
Unfortunately my youngest son (18 months old) now sees ladders as a challenge and is adept at climbing them. Unfortunately descending isn't quite something he's mastered. |

very funny we are all in the same situation.. i have a nice office with loads of pcs and my amigas set up but my wife is expecting in the winter and i will have to do something about all of it, but i always regretted selling my c128 when I was a kid, no way I'd ever part with my amigas.. you do have to make sacrifices for your children but we have the right to our own space and things we enjoy in life as well, it's a balance between the two

I'm lucky that myself and the wife don't want kids. So more space for me and my computers! Once the loft and workbenches are completed I'm literally having a row of computers (C64 / Amiga 1200 / 2000 and whatever else I can lay my hands on).
Can't wait but it will be about a year! M. |

We should probably not offer bodyparts to DDNI's missus anyway... that's a road we shouldn't take

Sell it all and use WinUAE with your PC. Will give you more space, money, cheaper bills.. etc etc etc.

Cheaper bills? Just out of interest, on what basis are you making that statement?
Not on energy bills... An A1200 power supply is a 23W device. Running a decent PC that can emulate all that well is going to consume a little more than 23w WinUAE is a great proposition for the Amiga, but to me there is something beautiful about old hardware - hence why I collect it . |

We have to all stick together as males and stand firm against women! We will not give up our Amigas! I know my soon to be wife will continue to pursue the attempt to downsize my study so that it eventually fits into the corner of the living room behind the door! But she won't succeed. While we have two spare bedrooms in the house I do not see a need to have both occupied by unused beds!
As for converting a study into a kids play room! Why? Surely they can play in their bedrooms! I think parents deserve a play room more than the kids! |

i totaly agree with all the above statements,
regarding women wanting what they want us to become, and telling us men what & where & when & how we must conform to there rules what about what we want ? they want us to get rid o`ve all our hobbies and other things that we like to do,so that they can dictate our live`s talk about give and take |
