Hello from Los Angeles

Been a member of this forum for a while now, but never wrote an intro, so here goes:

I grew up on Commodore. Got my first computer (a Vic-20) back in Kindergarten, then moved to the Commodore 128. When I got to high school, I managed to get my parents to buy me an Amiga 500, and then my senior year of high school they got me an A3000.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of my original computers other than the A3000. My A3000 was fully loaded with external hard drive, an Emplant Deluxe, and even a Bridgecard (286). But by my junior year in college, it became apparent that I would need a PC so I made the switch from Amiga to PC about a year after Commodore went bankrupt.

I'd probably still be using Amiga's today if Commodore didn't go bankrupt.

welcome aboard mate and yeah, I remember the VIC20. With only about 3k of ram this computer taught me how to make my basic programmings more concise.

I have no mathematics background but I managed to write games with sounds and graphics. Really a fun machine.

Nothing special, just copied some programs from a magazine which i buyed
