# Just looked back over last nights stuff
And on the Superfrog thread, people were recommending WinAMP to play .mod files! I nearly died! WinAMP has the crappiest mod support ever! It plays most songs with glitches, and quite a lot completely wrong!!

To enjoy modules properly, I recommend these two:

ModPlug Player

Plays '.MOD', '.XM', '.S3M', '.DBM' and some other modules correctly. Not very big download.

Or, for the perfectionists:

Deliplayer

Which plays every format under the sun ever invented (including Oktalyzer, AHX, PlaySID, BP Soundmon, Delta Music, etc. etc. etc.)

The advantage of Deliplayer being you can play pretty much ANY tune from Exotica.

Of course, to enjoy them properly properly requires an Amiga, but people don't seem to have them so much these days...

# I've got 12
in the museum. Really should fire one up more often, particularly to mess around with the Kolff PowerPC board that's in one of 'em.
Just need to find an A3000 and A4000 and I've got the complete set. Still kicking meself for passing over a 4000 for 15 quid a couple of years ago!

# Oooh!
Does that mean you have an A1000? if so I am officially soooooooo jealous :)

You can have my A4000... when you prize it from my cold dead hands :) Its my main workhorse computer and looks to stay that way for many years to come...

# hey i have an A4000 too
i did have a a500 which was what i upgraded to from my speccy many years ago, but i sold it to my boss who wants to make some kind of robot brain system out of it, but he's crazy so i let it go.

it had 2MB of ram as well, was my pride and joy until i got my A4000, which has had to go into the loft for the time being as i'm still living out of boxes since moving to another house.

Oh! pheonix you will rise from the flames ;)

# Well

It all runs under AmigaOS 3.9

And no, I didn't pay £469.95 for my Cyberstorm :)

# You know
having girlfriends always impeeds the upgrading of your computer, but I think it is worth it :)

As I'm currently between girlfriends (unfortunately, only chronologically and not physically.. :), I'm able to buy all sorts of geeky hardware. Well I would, if I didn't keep spending all my cash on beer and going to gigs instead :)

# Yup :)
Serial number 31 no less. Rev 3 board and missing F10 key! Haven't tested whether it's working yet but I've been told it is..... Also hopefully getting one of the development Grundy Newbrains as well as the prototype Spectrum that was used to write the firmware.....
