Now, now , now. I have four Amigas. A 2000, two A500's and a CDTV, that I just
can't bring myself to sell. I've been around for awhile, ever since the A500
first came out and sold for $595.00 with WB 1.2. I just can't justify spending
the money on a "real" Amiga to get the horsepower I want when my PII450 does
it for free. Take it easy on me.
Ok, so I downloaded the LZX utility from AMINET and installed it, but I'm
still missing something. After attempting to extract the boingbag1.lzx file, I
get the following message:
Extracting files from archive 'boingbag1.lzx':
0 file(s) extracted
Operation successful.
I have downloaded the boingbag file three times. What am I doing wrong? Should
I abandon the Amiga alltogether and move to the dark side because of this?
