You need a copy of Workbench v1.3 and I do have a copy but how will I send you
it?
I can't e-mail it to U because it's an Amiga disk and my PC can't read it...
Just reply back and tell me how you want the disk (I could snail-mail it for
you (It up 2 U:)

Ahhh. U want suggestions for Classic computers well he's the one's I've
collected over the past few years
Sinclair ZX-81 64k expansion memory
Sinclair ZX-Spectrum +3 ( 3" Disk drive ) 128k ram, AMX Mouse
Sinclair ZX-Specrum +2A (Tape deck) 128k ram
Toshiba - MSX (Microsoft first attempt at making a crap computer/OS) 64k ram
ATARI 7800 (A tastefull version of the 2600)
ATARI ST520FM x2 512K ram
Amiga A1200, 2Mb ram
Amiga CD32, 6Mb ram, 240Mb Hard Drive
Amstrad CPC 464, 64k ram, Green screen monitor
RM Nimbus 386/25Mhz, 4Mb ram, 80HD
Grandstand Computer (c)1978 (Great fun that one~)
a dozen R so Sinclair 48K Spectrums (Which have all died on me :)

Pentium 2 / 350mhz 128Mb Ram, 10Gb HD (The damn thing I'm using now)
