My last Amiga was a 4000 - but, dumb-ass me hot swapped a printer and
blew the wave-soldered/surface mounted CIA chips. And then it was good
for use as a door-stop. The old 'Miggus had socket mounted CIAs - and
yes, I changed more than one of them. Bv)>

They were both finance guys, not confuser folks. There was an inquiry
into Medhi Ali short-selling his own company on the stock exchanges.
He and Gould made money off Commode Door on the way up - and even more
on the way down.
