Arrow Free to a good home: A500HD & A2000 (Aug 2012)
as of 7PM on 8/2 I think they might have a good home...thank everyone for their interest....Len K

I have my original A500HD and A2000HD in (pretty sure) complete condition. I have tons of music, graphic and utility software on original diskettes, original monitor, dual mouse/trackball, cables, etc. (see photos in marketplace post). You would pay packing & shipping costs (probably via UPS).

The last time I had both units working was in 2000 before I moved to S Florida. Last year I took them out of the inside closet to revisit my fun Amiga days but seems neither would boot.

Moving to Florida, getting married, buying a new house and still running my business (software development) has kept me occupied for 10 years. Now my business requires more time and I would rather see my Amiga hardware and software go to an enthusiast who can make use & enjoy them. I'll be sad to see them go but glad someone can use them. Please email me direct: lkruger@edibiz.net --or-- call: 800-622-6118.

Do you happen to have a spare mouse lying around you'd part with separately?

I told him to buy a PS/2 mouse adapater and then get a brand new laser mouse. But he was silly and did not listen to me.

Seriously, old Amiga mice are 100% useless.

It didn't but you can't play Lemmings or Hired Guns in two-player with one mouse

Whew! I was worried it was a lemon.

Yeah - I've been eyeing those adapters as well.

Laser mice are far more accurate and they will help keep u from getting Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis, RSI or RSD like me. Its the difference between life and death. u r playing with fire to use an old wobbly inaccurate mouse that u hafta kinda fight with sometimes to get it to do what u want.

U should be willing to learn from my mistakes.

U get the luxury of the fact that I learned some life lessons the gdmf HARD way

u should come 2 houston and meet me. Just look at me 4 5 minutes and see what using an antiergonomic mouse can do to u. I guarantee u will change ur ways immediately.
