Hello from Reading!

Hello there,

I have just acquired an Amiga 500 on eBay and I'm waiting on delivery. It's untested, so I'm really hoping it will work out of the box

I never had an Amiga before as during its peak time I was an Amstrad CPC user

then made the jump directly to PC at some point. The reason why I'm joining the Amiga ranks is firstly to play those old games as they were meant to be, then to learn about how the Amiga worked and finally to tinker with expansions and mods. It seems that the Amiga scene is one of the most active retro/vintage scenes, so I thought it would be a good choice to keep me interested and busy!

I am based in Reading, UK.

Welcome! Before you power it up open the trapdoor and check for a leaky battery.
