Hi

Hello everyone, just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself,

I never really left the Amiga, my family's A1200 has gone through every house move with me since I claimed it as my own when I left home and I still get just as much (probably a bit more) fun out of it as I did when I was a kid...

Actually I've been up all night blasting Thargoids in Elite and still get the same rush from it that I did years ago.

Just getting back into the 'scene' as it were and boy is there a lot of infighting going on these days! Personally I get enough of that from Linux forums and you guys all seem pretty level headed ... so I'll just pull up a chair for a bit if that's cool.

Hey A420X, nice introduction! Welcome and please do pull up a chair and enjoy this fine forum.

Is it a standard A1200 you have?

Thanks Seuden, I think I will

It's a pretty standard A1200, the only modification is a CF card I installed after the ancient 8MB HD gave up the ghost. As soon as I made the switch I wondered why I didn't do it sooner, the speed boost is very nice, although I have to say I do miss the sound of my old drive warming up sometimes

I've been thinking about grabbing an accelerator for it, especially after I saw Amikit's new cards a while ago as I've discovered coding with a standard 2MB machine is next to impossible (unless I'm missing a few tricks, I wasn't much of a coder back in the day although I do remember bashing around blindly in AMOS)

Hi A420X and welcome to EAB! Enjoy your stay

Hi A420X, and welcome to EAB!

Hey, didn't you know, that's the best thing about Amigas - they grow on you! In fact, most Amigans find they collect more of them as time goes by.

Yep, that's cool. But be warned: some of us are not so level headed when we've had a few drinks...

Yes, you have now been warned
