I hope this area of the forum is the right spot to post this ..
I just realized that tomorrow it was 20 years ago I joined this forum
I was very active in the Amiga community and here from the early 2000's up until circa 2009 when my Amiga interest faded and I sold off large chunks of my Amiga collection. I saved some goodies I am now started to refurbish and rebuild. I am glad I didn’t sell off everything because when looking what even an A500 costs today it would have been quite painful to go out and buy the computers and parts again.
When I look back on the times when I was most active here I had three Amiga 4000, one in an Elbox tower with CS PPC, mediator PCI and all the good stuff, one A4000T and an A4000D with CS MKIII 060. An Amiga 3000 with CS MKII 060, two Amiga 1200, one towerized with Blizzard PPC, mediator pci, the other with a Blizzard 1260. Several expanded A500’s. An A600 with 030 accelerator and two Amiga CD32. Heck I even had a Pegasos G4! Crazy and fun times but man the hardware and software was flaky sometimes and it promised alot it couldn’t always deliver. We got Amiga OS4 and MorphOS for classic Amigas .. we got a new version of Ibrowse back then (ver 2.3?) Some of us sat and waited for vapor ware like the Shark PPC.
I wasn’t expecting much when it came to new hardware when I slowly came crawling back to fiddling with Amiga’s again but I was wrong … thank god we have Steven Leary and Terrible Fire and other brave souls.
Enough babbling here from me, you will probably see more of me here now since I’ve forgot alot but also remember alot of useful bits which can help others.
