How many Amigas do you own?
« on: June 15, 2007, 02:15:56 PM »
I see some of you people signature´s and i am amazed of the stuff you have.

I have a small "theory" about people hanging out here:
1) Ex Amiga users, who still love the platform but dont really own REAL Amiga hardware anymore (just emulate)
2) Die-hard Amiga users who owns many or at least one/uses Amiga

So, just curious, and im tempted to post first, but just want to ready your storied...how many Amigas do you own??

Details please!!!

Regards

Sebastian

EDIT: oooops, wrong forum...moderators please!!!

So which category am I? I only have couple PCs and Pegs these days. I surely don't consider myself "emulator" user...


You are not goingto believe me Piru..but while i was writing my categories...i tought about you...honestly...you are still (at least for me & for many others), a "legend" an "amiga hero"...so it doesnt matter really in which category you are...inside you are still a die hard Amiga user!!

Plus tons of Pong clones, Atari 2600 clones, Maganvox Oddysey, Intellivision, Coleco Vision...around 300 cartridges for all this consoles

If you ask me why so much Amiga/C= stuff the answer is simple: i LOVE them, im huge fan & collector, the more i have, the less time i have to use them, still i love them, i used them at least once a week, and i try to get as much as i can here because of the spare parts,,you can imagine here (Argentina) you dont have the chance to see one of these machines that often (we have a local "eBay", but things are published there not so very often, so eBay is my friend  :-D)

Well, basically thats all my stuff...if you want pics or if i forgot to mention anything, it will go in another post i guess...
Hope you didnt get bored after reading all this!!


BTW: loads & loads of original games & utilities...too much to mention

Regards

Sebastian

Well...according to my mother i have "a lot of crap taking place in your (mine) apartment!"

According to my (ex) girfriend, i had "a lot of useless trash, taking a lot of money which could be invested in, for example, more clothes to me (her)"

You can imagine her face when we started dating (about 4 years ago). I would tell her "I have to be with an Amiga (Amiga = female friend in spanish). She would be so so jealous...you cant imagine how funny it was each and every time

Things got a little different when she moved with me.
Every time the Postal Office man would ring my bell, an argument would begin with sayings like "if one machines comes inside this flat, one machine has to go" etc etc etc

It was a "fight", like the Roses film, but at the end, i won!!!

 :-D

Oh, BTW, forgot to add to my collection all my Power Flyers, 4-Eide adapters and stuff like that, and the Chelsea/Bayern Munchen/ Paris Saint Germain shirts...

Have a lot of funny stories to tell...maybe ni next posts

Time to go to watch 24 now
