Your Amiga new years resolutions?

What are your new years resolutions for your Amiga hobby?
Restore a particular machine? Finally get that 500 Plus? Play more games? Learn assembly?

Let us know

Mine is to finish a couple of the games we've been working on. My laptop died and can't afford a new one so having to chip away using a 10 year old clunky and slow one. But getting there very slowly.

1) Bring all my machines from France to Australia
2) Finish the mancave / attic / museum setup

I guess that’d be a great start. (Target = March)

That is somewhat challenging nowadays. No, not the mancave part, but to ship anything all over the world. :P

TO fix hw-wise all my Amigas, starting with my A4000 powered with CSPPC. I have so many plans, praying to have enough time for them... On the other hand, maybe I just have way too many Amigas...? (No )

Totally right, last time it cost me $2000 crate + shipping and $2000 customs fees (yes, for personal stuff!).

This time I’m expecting 3-4 times this…

One I can think about right now is making my AMIGA 1200 (and 500) able to access the Internet through WiFi. I don't mean browsing current websites tho (cause it's impossible considering I don't want to upgrade my AMIGA 1200 with an accelerator card with a 060) but accessing IRC, Telnet, FTP and other protocols.

Another is to consider checking and eventually fixing both my AMIGAs 500 and 1200, cause I've been a bit concerned about the crashes. Perhaps its time for a recap.

1280x1024 on my A3000 with CV64.
I want to start a small new game with my brother, after so many years (Trap Runner Black Strawberry Cake released 2019).

1 Fix my A4000/040 and find my mint condition manuals and disks (from before I bought this thing).

2 Set up my own A1200 I bought in 1992 to see if it still works after being boxed up for 10 years.

3 Find the rest of my Amiga disk collection/install a gotek in a non-working external drive to write out new disks of games I want to play/try.

Finish the disassembler I started writing in 1992. Every time I think I am getting close I manage to break something or find something I am not satisfied with. This must stop!

1. 1920x1080 on the A4000, 640x256 on the CDTV and MiSTer.
2. Write 6 articles for WhatIFF Magazine.
3. Write at least one issue of the third volume of Tales From The Dork Web on an Amiga (or CDTV).
