@Freqmax
If you don't mind me asking how much does land cost in the states?
That area you have cleared is at least 5 times larger than my house + gardens takes up! I can't imagine how much that would cost... you could buy the Amiga rights + anme for that!

@MikeJ
Good luck with it Mike, I'm really hoping you pull this off nevermind what you decide to do with it in future versions. I'd like a buy one as soon as it's released.. depending on me getting a new job!

Depends on location. Some places land is insanely cheap, just you may not want to live there...

the square states generally cost less....

Hmm, well yes ok that was a poorly phrased question on my part. I could have bought a house in Middlesbrough back when I was a student for a out £15,000... wouldn't have been worth it really granted the time since they're still only selling for a out £18,000 whereas my house which is the same size is worth quite a bit more

Difference between Middlesbrough town centre and a nice leafy village in the country I guess

Ok, but question still stands, it's scary how much land in the US costs compared to the UK

[freqmax]

Where did you get the idea that I have cleared land at all?

Anyway real estate pricing tend to be in parity with job oppertunities so it's usually the same more or less when considering the quota between living cost vs salary.

Sorry dude, wasn't meaning to be rude just curious. From the photo you posted it just looked like a huge piece of land and I was really surprised. Not that you could afford such a huge piece of land just, kinda... wow.

Anyway, nevermind, I apologise if it bothered you.

Ah ha! That'd be the 4 bottles of Leffe and 1 pint of Cider effecting my judgement then. Possibly a good time to bow out of further posting before I'm too pissed to spell

Very true...

I could move just a few hours up north and have a pretty nice house for probably less than this small townhouse near Miami i just bought, but I don't think there are many programming jobs. Hard to imagine that it sold in 2007 for over 2X what I paid for it.

Right now Detroit area is very reasonable with property values around the same price of a new mid to high-end configured Apple computer.

I think in general the UK will cost more.

I still get the feeling that I'll run out of space and it will end up looking like a junk yard.

Sounds like my room, with what used to be used as a pool table, except I don't have the U shaped desk, only an L shape.

I have not been able to play a game of pool/billiards for many months, as it is covered with computer parts and computers that are partially disassembled.

I am hoping to get things straightened out a little so I can invite a half dozen Amiga users over for a weekend meeting some time before the end of the year.

I was hoping to see some news about the FPGA Replay Board when I saw this thread at the top of the forum list. Sorry Mike, for contributing to the off topic discussion.

[freqmax]

I saw the Genlock thread and came to think of what would be needed to make that possible with the FPGA Replay

Not the 750ml bottles of Leffe I hope! :-)

You could buy 100 Mac Pros for the cost of a small townhouse in London.

Then again, you pay off the house and retire outside London, and you've got yourself a nice pile of money to waste on beer. Assuming we're not at 20% unemployment or recovering from the plague.

Depends on the spec of the macpro, you might only get a studio flat. If you tick all options on the mac pro then you might stretch to a maisonette.
