The best one i have seen is a short real low quality mpeg of this geezer in an office kicking th F**ck out of the office PC. 1st he gives the keyboard a good bashing then smacks the monitor and finally he totally looses it smacks the monitor with the keyboard then goes round his desk and kicks 7 bells out of it!
If you'd seen lotus 1,2,3 (i don't mean the Amiga Trilogy) you would do the same As for Old Yella i would look around for another old Amiga that maybe don't work and switch the innards around. (ie some rich kids amiga that never got played on, just stuck in the dark attic after he got his jap import snes and copier) |

And he also said he once got a Master System, and when he opened the case, it had COCAINE inside of it. He called back the guy and asked "What the fuck?", and the guy said "Shit! I forgot to clean it up! Sorry man!" |

Most A500s you find are well used and sometimes even extremely battered. I have -never- seen a whitey A500 (except when they were brand new back in the days!) |

Teh grasshopper would never SURVIVE inside the machine, so it can grow up in there. If it got in there during the production run, it could be possible (banana country A2600s! ) The cocaine bit is just bollocks |

Strange, because only very few miggys I see around here are yellowed.
Must have something to do with the fact that Austria where I live is a rather cold country ! |

I have toggled a lot of yellow from my old 500 with sgreaser ( a liquid to toggle grass - used for kitchen, pots, oven, etc. ).
To apply more pressure on the Amy try with a cotton fioc, with a little thing you can press a lot better than with a rag ( kg / cm^2 - if the area is little, you can press more ). I have discovered it when i cleaned years ago the Amiga letters then were coloured with a red permanent ( indelebile ) marker. |

I've just cleaned one of my A2000 keyboards. The yellowed one After having tried many things I used the BHP paste (it's something like a soap with a little tiny sand). Now the keyboard is ALMOST like brand new. The cleaning took me something like 2 hours but ... |

Well... it's available here in Poland, and it's probably also available in UK, but under different name... as BHP=Bezpieczenstwo i Higiena Pracy

You will fuck up the case, its texture. I know I "cleaned" an Amiga mouse like that. It sucks. Yellowing does NOT go without destroying the case |

Well... as I said the sand is tiny, something like a dust...
I cleaned the yellowed keyboard and now it looks great, the 'texture' is not destroyed. Ahh, and today I've cleanded the A2000 case's front panel that way... and didn't notice any damage. |

If it is OK with you, go ahead. But I cannot withstand the thought of scratching the surface with that.
