DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!
Any 680x0 based information, repairs, images, upgrades and other cool stuff that is not Atari and Amiga based but based on the Motorola 68K range of processors

That AES is super cool looking though...
Trouble is that I just feel the need to sit down after looking at prices.
For sure it is. 8-)
I experience the same situation sometimes... For instance, I was looking at Falcon's prices for years and was saying to myself that spending so much bucks for just a retro computer is pure madness, when finally I got my own Falcon for a decent price and after a long time of expectation.
So the moral of this story is that patience is a virtue, and you finally always get what you want provided you can wait.

I've been collecting for a long time now (20+years) and totally agree, patience is very much needed. My Apple ][e and TRS-80 Model 1 are good examples, I waited ages to get both as prices were stupid, then in 2022 I got both for reasonable prices.
The Saturn on the other hand, I managed to get really quickly and very cheap. It's a bit like fishing, some days you get nothing, but others you get lucky, it's just a matter of waiting patiently.

@rubber_jonnie
Good to be on the same wavelength.

Indeed it is :)
I do have to temper my spending for a little while though as I've just ordered a new car, so expensive stuff is out for a little while.
