Now and then, buying an `060

[mrbob2]

I was thinking today, back to `96 when i (my dad) spent over £400 on a cyberstorm 680060 card for my A1200. Back then it was a huge ammount of money but the things i hoped it would do (and did) i thought were definately worth the money.

Today however, i wouldnt dream of spending that much on a gfx card, i could even buy a modest pc for that ammount! Has the price of hardware come down THAT much in the last 10 years? i guess, looking back at some C&VG mags from 1985 when the c64 was £399 things were very expensive in those days, probly the equivalent of buying a pc for £5000!

Oh and my Amiga technologies 32mb A1200 `060 150mb HD still works like a dream

Hmm, rather unfortunate phrasing there

When i bought my 32mb Apollo 060 for £325 i think it was way back then....

plugging it into my a1200 (upgrading from an 8mb ram board)

OMFG!!!!!!!


doooom...... i could play doooom...... and so i played dooom..... oh my.... such memories..... i dont think i left the house for 3 days.....

then i got back into imagine rendering..... ahhhh luscious that feeling was, then some coding.... then music.... then some more gaming.... then bought a £165 CV643Dmk2 gfxcard, and Prelude sound card.....

AHI was a bitch! but once working.... MMMmmm yummy.....

a cyberstorm for the A1200 ?

then again if you got an offer to buy a computer 20 times faster than your original computer you would rethink a bit right? (i think i rendered about 20 times faster with my 060, if not more

Ok, heres how it went

One day my dad decieded it would be a good idea to have sex with my mum.

I popped out of her mary and 18 years later i wanted an blizzard `060 for my A1200

My father, the man responsible for "getting my mum up the duff" gave me the money and i proceeded to Gordon Harwoods computer shop and purchased the card with the money my father (He who humped me ma) gave me.

Thats how i remember it anyway.

in this forum we respect the quantum dynamity but we will not have such perverse and heretical views where time travel is possible.... we wont.... and not one of us will just idly type by and pretend thats not what you are doing...

I shall call forth the Double D Delicious Damien, and he will strike you down as the Vengeful Mod that his is.... thats MOD spelt with a G ....

Are these two things related at all? You kinda get the impression that they are.

"I'd like an '060 please, Mr Shopkeeper."

"Ah, yes. You look like a lad that popped out of a Mary 18 years ago. You'd be wanting an '060 about now. It does that to you, does that mary."
