Hi abbub,

I'm more looking at it like a space saving venture, so getting a C128D would
cover both sides of the coin... But I'm not willing to spend anything like
$900AUD to get the system, and then having to spend even more to get it fixed.

There's also a auction on there for 4 Amiga mice for $600AUD and $100AUD in
shipping.  The description: "ROLL UP!!! ROLL UP!!! BULK LOT OF ORIGINAL 4
COMMODORE AMIGA MOUSE'S AT A FANTASTIC PRICE!!!. Just what any Amiga User
Need's. Happy Bidding. Only Amiga Makes it Possible."
