Alternative Amiga
*****************
by Keefy of STOSSER
*******************
This was origionally from Power 17, but, due to the collapse of
Commodore, it really has to be added to show all Amiga owners
what to do with their now obselete piece of junk.
I saw Jen of Jewel Pd's little contribution to issue 11 (hi Jen!),
and I came up with a couple of ideas.
a. The cricket bat.
Get a wooden brush, with long handle. Saw in half and remove the
brush head. Lay th amiga on the floor, flat side up and draw a
line right down the centre lengthways. Get one half of your brush
pole, and lay directly over the line so that one end protrudes out
from the edge of the amiga and the other end lies paralell with
the edge of the computer. Hammer the nails firmly through the
pole into the amiga at 3 inch intervals. Play cricket. With a
bit of luck you'll completely knacker it with your first six.
b. The dinner tray.
Using a screwdriver, carefully remove the upper casing. Give to
nearest child to take to school and inform them to ensure that all
foodstuffs are placed directly onto the CPU. Mashed potato,
custard and orange squash are particularly nice.
c. A fireguard.
If you have an open fire, it will make a very effective fireguard
when placed directly in front of fire. Thus avoiding the problem
of the odd stray spark finding its way onto the carpet.
d. A doggie coat.
Protect your pet from the waether by doing the following:
1. Gently unscrew the main cover so that you have two parts.
2. Lay them on the floor so that they look like a pyramid thus,

3. Using an electric drill, carefully, drill two holes at the
top edge (one in each peice)
4. Tie firmly with string
5. Drill four holes at the bottom half (two in each half).
6. Loosely thread string through the holes in the bottom. one
peice througheach opposite hole like so:
*---------*
*---------*
7. Place carefully over the pet.
8. Tie string under stomach.
Your pet is now perfectly safe to go out in the rain without being
harmed.
e. Temporary boarding.
If you've been recently broken into, and you've got a smashed
window. Simply hammer your amiga into the frame, so as to cover
the breakage until a proffesional glazer arrives.
f. Pond cover.
Prevent small children from drowning in garden ponds by placing
enough Amiga's into it to completely fill it, thus making the water
too shallow to cause problems.
g. Ant farm.
Drill lots of small holes in the casing.
Completely encase your amiga in sellotape to prevent leakages.
Drill a large hole in the top, pour dirt into the hole, place ants
gently into hole, place some sugar in with them. Now sit back and
have endless hours of fun watching the ants rush backwards and
forwards with the sugar grains.
h.Rubiks cube.
Remove outer casing, remove all the keys. Paint 54 of them in
various colours (9 of each). Now attempt to assemble rubiks cube.
I never said it was easy!
i.Garden gate.
Replace broken garden gates by attaching hinges to the edges of
your amiga.
Thats it I think, I'm sure you can think of a few more uses for
the most useless computer on the face of the planet.
TA RA!
