Speaking of Amigas...

I was just given an A1000 with keyboard, mouse, and the external floppy
(the external floppy seems to have "issues". This is my second A1000, but
the first one is dead and was used for my public displays to show the
signatures on the inside of the case.

I haven't had time to plug it in and see if it boots, but I do know I'll be
needing a Kickstart disk. I have the version of Workbench that came with
my A500 (1.2, I think?) -- will that boot the 1000?

Nice little bonus -- it also came with the genlock slab, so I'll eventually try to
play with that.

Also, anyone have a copy of the bouncing ball demo I can have? I've never
had that, and always wanted a copy, especially since I interviewed RJ Mical
several years back and talked to him about it (he's the one who wrote it.)

While I'm in the process of purging most of my collection (those of you who
have emailed me -- I haven't forgotten you. Life just got nutty for a while
and I got behind on a lot of projects.) I'm keeping my 128K Mac and all my
Amigas (2 - 500's, A1000, and an A2000).

Thanks.
