I am with you their Robert, I like having the original equipment
(though being in the UK makes things far less available), though fully
embrace the more modern stuff :-). I used to have a GS when I was
about 16 with HD and Transwarp card etc but then sold it all for a PC
(Knowing what i know now wish i didnt lol). Over the years I have been
collecting to get back to what i had and though i have more stuff the
only thing I am really missing now is a AE Transwarp GS, so if anyone
has one spare and is looking for a good home in the UK let me know :-)
