Donations from the west from a great man

E505 - Something that I still can not believe. I was humbled by Mr Sean from the west coast. he sent me a MASSIVE donation of C= and PC things. more than i could have ever imagined. I did at least pay for the shipping .Yet I still feel unworthy of such a gesture. I promise to be the best custodian I can during the time i have.
Please do not get angry with me for receiving something so nice. IF you know me you know how much i truly care for the Amiga ,both yours and my own.
For 11 years i have fixed and repaired things for free. mainly on my own $ with now the help from a few others via patreon. yet I still do not feel worthy of this. nor any gifts... SO a great thank you Sean and a great thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart. I hope you enjoy this as much as i do every single day. C.E.

It just baffles me that people would get upset that things like this are donated to someone like you Chris. One day they will realize it is just payment for all the long hours and free repairs you have put in!

Not sure how anyone could get mad at you for accepting donations, particularly given the amount of Amigas you rescue at the expense of your own (and money in many cases). People think I'm a bit mad watching videos of a guy solder old computers, while I'm eating dinner, but the Amiga holds a special place in my heart. Keep up the good work Chris!

Yes thanks to Mr Shaun I look forward to all the videos Dr Chris can entertain us with Amigas are FANTASTIC

@pkf4124 Ай бұрын

Never ceases to amaze me, how much people donate to you, so humbling to see that “virtual” friends give so much so willingly. We all know they could scalp many of us on eBay to get some good money for the items but choose not to. True love there.

Sean hooked a brother up! What a great donation! I have little doubt that you will make some great videos with these items and we will all get to enjoy them. Thank you Sean!

That's awesome Chris. You provide a lot of information and entertainment to all of us Amiga fans and you DO deserve the donations and Sean is a wonderful person to find it in his heart to donate these things. I am sure those donations will be well taken care of and will help fuel more awesome videos in the future. That said, thank you BOTH!

You deserve any donation you are given, you donate your time and use your own coin to fix machines for free. No you can never have to many amigas, i have a decent collection but sadly lacking a 3000 and a 4000, one day if i get rich, they are sadly out of my price range. Keep up the great work, i have learned a lot from your channel and have every single one of my amigas working 100%.

@waldiamiga1818 Ай бұрын

Damn, you got some nice gifts. My friend would die for an E/Box 4000. I think I have four A1200s in the E/Box, and an A4000 in a Micronik Tower. I also got some great things from a friend from Ireland, an A1200, an A500 and a WarpedVision for my turbo Warp1260 (best turbo for A1200, together with BlizardPPC). BTW: I live 15 km from Elbox's headquarters, I recently visited them. Greetings from Poland.

Hey dare, Sometimes yes sometimes, excellence has to be rewarded, and this is an appropriate example. Maybe you might think there are lots of professional digital electronic experts out there covering that last 4 decades, from then right up until now. Nope, they are dead, retired, or somehow gone. Oh, yeah, keep all the entertaining humor coming, it's so you! The future is exciting and the past is a gold mine.

Hi Chris, I hope and wish that you may grow very old and provide as many amigas as possible with a new life and of course that you continue to make content. Another very nice, beautiful video. Chris thanks. I hope to continue learning from you for a long time and to be able to watch your videos.

It couldn't have gone to a better home. I've been working on my Mediator 4000D PPC build and it's pretty weird putting a Voodoo card in an Amiga but it is pure nerd mana. Grats!

Awesome donations! And better to have it end up with you as an Amiga custodian, than any of those just looking to earn some fast cash on eBay. I very recently became a patreon, just because I enjoy seeing you save Amigas, and provide free repairs.

Yeah, it drives me crazy when people will post A2000's with the clearly leaked and never removed battery going A2000 in great condition.

@rosslanglois9372 Ай бұрын

Hi, everyone! First off, love your channel! I'm relatively new to the world of Amiga. I grew up with an Apple //c until I got my first PC in '94. I had friends with C64's and A500's. Never had an Amiga, but always wanted one. The Amiga scene is awesome!!! Looking for an A1200 maybe local in the Portland area to refurbish. Let me know if y'all got one to sell! 😀

@technretro7115 Ай бұрын

I have that Elbox case with an A1200 in it. I think they called it the mediator case. The riser to add the pci slots are so expensive though. We all know that all this stuff has gone to a good home Chris so don't lose any sleep over none supportive comments. Try and pop into more of the Terrible Fire live streams. Nice to see you there. Keep up the excellent work. 👍🏻

@enigma776 Ай бұрын

I had a 1200 in a Elbox case back in the day, was fully kitted out with a mediator and so on. We just called them power towers then.

Funny that you say this, because I think Commodore made a mistake with the serial numbers and there are quite some serial number 1 amiga's here in the Netherlands. They pop up on the local eBay site every now and they, so they are not as special as you would think.
