I think your gonna like it here,you seem to have an open mind and thats what we all need at times like these.Welcome to a.org. and don't worry about the trolls and flamers they are just here for your entertainment purposes and it'll all die down soon enough anyways. Most people here are more than happy to help out or chat with a fellow amigan.
I think someone should warn you though, that this place is highly addictive and no one gets out alive !
seriously though I think your gonna enjoy your stay.
Nice to meet ya. :-)

@r00tAmiga

Welcome in, sit down, grab a brewski.

Sure, we bicker a lot, but most families do.  If we stopped bickering, THEN start worrying.

Thank you to all! :)

To: Spidey and others...

I was introduced to Amiga's in the late 80's by my best friend.  He had an Amiga 500 at the time and I had an IBM PC Clone with a green and block monitor, etc.  I could play games like Space Quest on it.

When I saw how powerfull and impressive a computer the Amiga 500 was, I talked to my parents about it, saved up enough money and split the purchase with them.  Ah the good old days.hehe

I was around 13/14 at the time.  Well about 2 years later my family moved to a different neighborhood and for some reason or another I didn't take my Amiga with me. :-? Don't ask, because I don't remember.

But recently I have gotten back into the scene strong.  I am messing around with AROS on my second computer, a Gateway tower PIII-450 and also running WinUAE and WinFELLOW on my custom-built P4 2.6ghz system.

Soon I will be investing some money in some classic Amiga systems.   One is an Amiga 4000 with a video toaster, a VCR, a camcorder, etc.  And definatley an A500.   I'll get these as soon as I get a house next year and set up the computer room.

My friend (the Amiga enlightener) and I are still best friends after all these years.  Even though he now lives in NH.  Throughout the years, we keep talking about the Amiga and how great a computer system it was and still is.  There is so much history behind the Amiga; the games, the demos, the programs.  It's not even funny. :-D

I guess i'm blabbing away so that's all i'll write for now.  :-P

Who else would like to share there experiences?  Or to put it a better way, what made you all faithfull Amigans? :-)
