Hi everyone!

I'm Stian, 27 year old from Norway. Got my first Amiga 500 when I was 7, back in 1989. I remember how awesome it was compared to the C64, which I had been using since I was 5-6 years old. By the time I was 10 I had opened my very first BBS and I was "naturally" thrown into the warez scene, moving files around with those old 14.4k modems we had at that time. ;) ;)

Started doing ascii art for BBS'es and release groups and just started drawing again (for fun) after several years off. I called myself trasher (TRS) back in the good old glory days of BBS'es.

Anyways, I love Amiga and I've recently had several A500's, A600's and A1200's which have been used frequently. I am currently only using WinUAE though, as it saves me a lot of hassle (and space). :)

Oh, and as a living I run a small tech consultant company in Oslo, Norway.

That's all for now I guess. :agree

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! :)

The last ascii I did (in newer time) was for TuS^ascii and I believe some of them are to be found in their 1st and 2nd ascii packs.

Here (http://www.thuglife.org/cgi/load/load.cgi?/archive/ascii/tus/tus-01.zip) and here. (http://www.thuglife.org/cgi/load/load.cgi?/archive/ascii/tus/tus-02.zip)

All files name TRS* are mine. Remember this is old school ami/x ascii, not new school or block/ansi. :)

I did a lot of menusets for BBS'es back in the days. I really wish I held onto those, but they're long gone I believe. :(

Use AcidView (http://sourceforge.net/projects/acidview6-win32/) for Windows or similar text editor/viewer for Amiga (use Topaz font) when watching. :)
