Hello from snowy Hessen

Hi,
I've been lurking for a while but thought it was time to start posting things. I've started getting back into hardware after many years of fiddling with various flavours of UAE.

My first computer was an Amiga 500, now sadly lost to the enthusiasm of my parents during a clear out before I could retrieve it. As I'm sure many people were, I was inspired to go into the world of computing as a career, and I've ended up flying interplanetary spacecraft (which have less computational capability than a mildly accelerated A1200, by the way - dealing with antiquated hardware is what pays my bills).

I've started rebuilding a collection of hardware although I'm not entirely sure why I need three Amigas... My wife is very understanding.
