Amiga30UK

I wondered how many of us are going to Amiga30 UK in August?

I will be there - ticket and hotel booked!

It was good to meet you at Amiga30UK Paul.

That A600 will be pride of place. Kinda wish I got more signatures now. Or taken something else like my original A500 or my A1000.

I should update own Amiga.org signature really we haven't been called Yeovil's Obsolete Computer Museum for some time! And thanks, we do try. Premises is the biggest issue, it is all money.

I can't make Neuss, time and money really.
I kinda feel I need another one. Maybe more a local smaller, Amiga club type thing.

Thanks for the photo Steve - I've updated my signature and Avatar now

I was there AmigaBruno, with my multi coloured Amiga Tick t-shirt and I took and setup our Amiga500 Plus.

AmigaBurno did you post photos on FB? Commodore Amiga page?

I didn't see Paul, or at least didn't recognise him. He must have a new hairstyle or was wearing a hat. I don't remember seeing Lord Spunky either. I was wearing a light blue jacket and a T shirt. I wrote my real name with "Amigabruno" in the middle, but no one noticed. I spoke to a few members of Amiga North Thames, the Sysop of the old 01ForAmiga BBS and some other people whose names I didn't get. One of them was wearing a Guru Meditation T shirt. It was great to see lots of classic Amigas set up. I don't know anywhere else I can go where there would be even one classic Amiga set up except my own. (HINT, HINT)

I finished my day sitting in the "Scene Room", where Dan Wood of Kooky Tech invited me to play the game "Micro Machines". I had no real idea what to do, but it seems I won! After this, he played another game I hadn't seen before, which I thought was called "Dragon's Axe" but it seems it wasn't called that and now I don't know what it is, so I can't find it anywhere.

I  left to get a bus just before 19:30, went back to my friend's place in Peterborough, and was back at my local station in London at 00:10.

This week I've been playing with my Amiga A1200, two CF hard drives, and my Gotek USB ADF floppy drive with mixed results. Amigakit/A-EON fixed my broken CF card and adaptor at the show. While there I bought a kit with another IDE CF adaptor, a CF card with WHDload and a floppy disk. My old CF card worked again, but I found I couldn't read the new CF card on a PC using FS-UAE under Linux, so I haven't installed any games or demos on it yet. Perhaps my USB CF card ready is faulty. The latest news is that while using my Gotek drive, my CF hard drive suddenly disappeared from the boot menu, so I'm working on getting it recognised again.
