- thanks. and your right i HAVE too listen to the PC folks. but i don't
- like it. i went amiga about '89 and have acually become one of the
- last repair and resource guru's in this neck of the woods. i even have
- the last amiga/commodore shop in theses parts sending me their repairs.
- so if your sending in a 1084 or equivelent for repair it may be comming
- to me. nice to see the 64 still breathing and i have been passing and
- help i can to folks with repair trouble on their 64 eq. i used to
- reapir boat loads of that stuff too. still have a 64/1541 on the self
- myself and just talked to a bud about getting his bad 128/1571 and
- bringing it back to life.
-
- i've check that web site too, and was ask to add all my equiment repair
- knowledge to the data. if there's enough interest, i wouldn't mind
- doing up a couple pages on all of the most common probs a reapirs.
