New amiga user - G'Day

Hi all,


I'm James, an Amiga user from Australia, I just got into Amiga last year and I think I am going to be a lifetime addict


My Machines
A3000, 16mb fast, Picasso IV, A2065, GVP T-Rex 040/40, BlueSCSI and OS3.9
Phoenix, full ecs, 2mb chip, PiStorm 3B, OS3.9


Been lurking for a while but I might get more involved now, went to a Sydney Amiga User Group meeting today

Welcome, how did you get involved? Always interesting to hear from new users.

Also, how is an A3000 your first machine - Those are fairly sought after machines =)

Initially I had zero interest in Amiga, but I found a 3000 in storage and I downloaded some demos and mods and it was quite cool what you could do. I don't know anyone else my age that has any interest in Amiga. Feel free to ask away.

Thanks guys, not sure what to do with the amiga other than games and mods (music), am open to suggestions. Shapeshifter runs nice with the Picasso IV card.
Also spent heaps of time with amix. It is fun to play around with.

Smile Hi one reccomendation is:

Ever try to be creative and make something happen on Amiga whether your using pc or original Amiga, Try using Protracker or Dpaint to open up your creative fields of interest. Also try doing something other than playing games. If you try this you will be a master in no time.
