Thanks for watching.
Please note: I have removed a small section from the video as it showed ADF download sites. While this is low risk, it could be seen as advocating piracy, which in turn could be seeing as a violation of YouTubes TOS. This was a pre-emptive action on my part, and not the result of any outside action or request. Fortunately, I feel the video still holds together. The removed section simply detailed how I looked at Amiga ADF download sites to see if the game existed for the Amiga, and found it wasn't listed anywhere, and that certain sites have a page for it, but list it as "Missing in Action".
Full details of my reasons for buying a Mac will be in a future video.

Thanks, Lee, for joining me on this nostalgic journey.
