 cl> would like to here what you think of it.  

It's a quarter of the size of an actual 500. Does weigh pretty decently, 
especially since they put weights into the case.

Only bad thing is that they have set it up (without hacking it) to be a game
box 
with an ARM processor running Amiberry. On the other hand, there are a lot of
hacks
where they have put WB on it and allowed you to run ADF files.

Had an actual 500 when they were being sold retail. Ex-wife hated it, so I got 
rid of it. If the prices would've been decent...would've bought the real thing.
Since getting this for the nostalgia factor...was the lowest cost option
available.
 
.... So easy, a child could do it. Child sold separately.
