Hi!

[mel_zoom]

Hi!

Let me introduce myself. My name's Mel and Im told, quite a rare specimen - namely a lady amigan :-) I got my first miggy when I was 12, an A500+ and had many happy days playing magic pockets....

Fast forward to the present. One of the guys where I work introduced me to this place yesterday. Somehow we got onto the subject of amigas when I was supposed to be finding out where the internal project notes are for the system he develops here. I have my suspicions hes too busy here to have written them ;-)

Of course now I can keep my eye out and see if thats true :lol:

I still have an A1200 with a Blizzard 1230 I got a few years ago but I havent unpacked it since moving. Having looked around here Im feeling nostalgic. I had no idea that there was still so much going on in the amiga world :-o

Well there goes my late lunch break. Be seeing you around!

Hello!

A HUGE welcome to you! You're right, it's mostly guys here (and I'm one of them).

I hope you'll have a great time on Amiga.org. It's a superb site connecting Amiga hobbysts from all over the world. Helping each other and having a good nostalgia time in general.

So go on, unpack your Amiga, try it out again. Watch out when all your memories suddenly come back to you as you start to play these old games. It's great!

Ok, I have to ask: Is that you in the avatar? :-)

[Tomas]

Welcome to amiga.org  :-)

[McVenco]

Welcome!

You should indeed unpack your miggy again and give it a go. Nothing beats a few hours of shooting/racing/RPGing/flying on an Amiga! :-)
(well, *almost* nothing, but since there are probably kids under 18 on this site I won't go into detail :lol: :pint: )

[lorddef]

Welcome, may I ask why you came back to the UK?

[amigakit]

Hello Mel, Welcome to Amiga.org

Enjoy your stay and remember if you have any questions feel free to ask as there is allot of Amiga knowledge trapped in our heads and we love to share it ;-)  Defiantly one of the friendliest forums on the web.

[mel_zoom]

Thanks for the welcome :-)

skurk: yes.

lorddef: erm... Im guessing that wasnt meant to sound as unwelcoming as it could appear ;-)

I have been contracting abroad for the last year and a half and I have recently landed a permanent position here.

[A4000_Mad]

 :-o If this place wasn't already addictive enough without someone who looks like that as a member. I look forward to seeing you around the forums. I'm in the UK too, is there any chance we could.... oh never mind  ;-)


Welcome Avatar... I mean welcome Mel  :lol:

Ill have to dig out that 1200. I havent even turned it on in nearly two years.

I heard that some systems can have problems with battery leaks. I dont remember the 1200 having a battery, or does it?

[Flashlab]

Welcome!

And no the 1200 doesn't have a battery. But your Blizzard may have one...

Hi Mel......I am always facsinated by a female that chooses to use an Amiga. I think it says alot about a person.

The Amiga REALLY is the Best "Computer Idea" in the world and thats why we are so glued to it...........they havent been upgraded much, but you will be amazed what is available for your A1200:

USB ports
MP3 Hardware Decoder
AIM, MSN, Yahoo, IRC messengers
Internal DVD drives (Hacked)
Wireless internet PCMCIA card capable

and much much more............and always fun!   just ask!  we probably got it!

PS:   Im in the process of purchasing the wedding ring........so when Will you arrive here in NY so we can proceed with our marriage :-D


Sorry!  I had to say it.........cuz your cute :-)


PSS:  shut up dudes..Im single :-P
