I am beta testing V1.5 of SETCPU. There are numerous improvements
over V1.4 including .. ready Amiga 2000 users ... no more drive
clicking! The other slick feature is the ability to load Kickstart
V1.3 from DF0: or DF1: and then pop it into the MMU. Not sure if
the NoClick feature works on the A500, but don't see why it shouldn't.
This is probably the last gamma version, so it should be available RSN.

Whoops! Forgot to mention .. you need an accelerator board with
MMU to get these new features.

I did a small simulation a few years ago, I generated random lottery
numbers and compared them to the winning numbers. I calculated
ALL winning combinations and added them up. I let this run overnight,
printing winners, and the next day I had "bought" $160,000 worth
of tickets and "won" a gran total of $20,000. So unless you hit
the nail on the head with ONE blow, it isn't worth it, worse still
the prizes are split to more people when the jackpots get bigger,
so the winners get less. So if you MUST buy lottery tickets, just
buy ONE, and hope.

PS I won a TV this way, I entered ONE ticket and it came in.

re .4: lottery...
Worse than that - even if you win, they only pay you an annuity
on the money you win and not the actual money. So if you win $1M,
they pay you over twenty years which happens to be about 5% a year
and hey that's what you can get at a bank as interest. Guess who
gets the principal at the end?
