Doh! Bonus points if you ran the 1st one on an 1x CD player.... and uttered to your friends "wow, this is blazingly fast"

Rats! Just missed the bonus. My first CD player in my amiga was a 4x. So fast I had to click the icon twice because I missed it running the first time.

Plaz

ah, missed 2 obvious ones:

93. Youve pulled apart and "fixed" lots of 9-pin joysticks.
94. You know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that your ideas for where amiga should go are the right ones

@Illyria

95. If your idea of a neat 1200 tower involves NESCafe cans.
96. If you think that a hacksaw and a computer are two items that go together rather well.

Or destroyed lots of 9-pin joysticks playing "Waggle O'Mania"

(C64 owners will also be able to relate to this too from playing Daley Thompsons Decathalon too much. Speccy owners will not as their version didn't work in the same manner requiring you to constantly waggle which the C64 one did)

First time I used a CD under Workbench was on an A600 via a sernet connection with a CD32.

Not exactly fast...

I actually had ParNET running between my A1200 and CDTV for a long time before I got my first CD burner for it.

( And yes...I did build the parnet cable myself )

I did read an article on why you cannot really solve this problem without damaging the casing with abrasives. Somebody did recommend a shower cleaner (whose name I have forgotten as it was only sold in the States). But again, it is an abrasive and so would be likely to damage the plastic in removing the discolouration.

Funnily though, in all the C64's, C128s and Amigas I have owned from the beginning, none have suffered yellowing due to light damage. The only C64 I have that is a little yellowed was purchased with the discolouration already.

Actually, I do, but I didn't buy it!! I found it abandoned, without memory (which I added using a leftover), it's missing a hard disk and I only switched it on once to see if it's working at all... to my surprise it did!!

102. You have tried to use right win-c to copy text in windows or linux...
