- Hi Rob! Your CD32 is running fine for Shane. I paid $30 for an Amiga 1000
- keyboard, hooked it up to my CD32, and it works really well. I think you can
- still find them about, but that point's academic to you now, isn't it? :)

- I hate that keyboard of yours. Click click click. Tacky or what? Shane is
- using my 1000 one at present. Ahhh.. the feeling of quality.
-
- Oh, I can do a one-handed reset, but that's probably because I can reach from
- the Ctrl key of my 2000 keyboard to the right Amiga key with my hands. It
- takes me one hand to handle a Whopper too.. :)

- It rocks. I just got a 200Mb HD, which manages to overload the piddly little
- CD32 power supply with the floppy drive and HD both going.. :)

- I'm glad I shortened my .sig, it didn't like quotes too much, did it?
