Title: Re: How old are you?
Post by: Plaz on February 28, 2006, 01:37:05 AM: What year is it? 42 for me, I think. I always loose track.
Suprising to see so many young bloods actually. I was 17
when the Vic 20 hit the local Kmart, 19 when the C64
had me drooling over the demo model at the mall every
other weekend, and 25 when I saw my first "jaw dropping"
Amiga. Other computers have been bigger and faster since
then, but not as interesting. So can it happen again at 43
with a new Amiga?

Meaning of life passed you by since then? :-D

So wait, at 42 I should have the answer to life and every thing?
Drat, I must have missed the galatic bypass for that road a while back.

Jikes I thought I was going to be the oldest! I'm 56, or will be in April. I feel about 80 but that's another story. Say, I wonder what is the correlation of age to number of computers? I have 10 in all. 7 are Amigas.

Debbie Harry is 61
Dick Van Dyke is 81

As for the correlation between the number of computers and age, I'm not sure about that! I have:

1 x Sinclair ZX80
2 x Sinclair ZX81 (one non-working)
4 x Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K (one non-working, plus ZX Interface One, Two, Microdrives, etc)
2 x Sinclair ZX Spectrum + 128K (one non-working)
1 x Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2A
1 x Sinclair ZX Spectrum +3
2 x Sinclair QL (one non-working, other with disk interface)
1 x Atari 520STFM (1Mb upgrade and DS drive)
1 x Atari 520STE (1Mb upgrade)
2 x Acorn BBC Master 128 (with disk drives)
2 x Acorn Archimedes A30x0 (both with hard drives and RAM upgrades)
2 x Commodore 64 (one with a 1541)
1 x Commodore 64DTV joystick
1 x ageing Dell laptop
4 x home-built PCs with varying specs
1 x Apple MacII LC
3 x Philips CD-i players (one developer machine)
1 x Gamecube
1 x Vtech kiddies computer (68000-based, a future project!)
1 x Amiga 1000 (with Insider 1Mb board)
1 x Amiga 500 (with GVP HD-8 hard drive / RAM upgrade)
1 x Amiga 600 (with RAM upgrade and 200Mb hard drive, plus a spare non-working A600 mobo)
1 x Amiga 1200 (68060 / 32Mb / 2Gb hard drive / external HD floppy / Subway USB)
1 x Amiga 3000 (68060 / 128Mb / 10Gb hard drive / Catweasel / Cybervision 64 / Ethernet)

And...

1 x very understanding girlfriend! :-)

The PCs, the A3000 and the A1200 are the only machines set up and ready to go, the rest are in storage.

As for my collection of antique technology, there are about 9 or 10 PC's in the house (all working), and my 4000/040 and a 1200 with a PPc 603 card (040/25 - PPC 200).

Atari 800XL w/ Indus GT
Coleco ADAM (not sure if I still have this or not...)
Apple IIGS w/ 1408KB
Sony MSX2 w/ 512KB and Sunrise IDE
Amiga 2000 w/ A2630@28MHz, OS 3.9 and GVP HC+8

Amigan since 1988, that is more than half my life, given the fact that the first years of childhood are week in memory, the most time of my life i am Amigan. Still remember that I day in 1988 I picked up that A500. When entering the bus packet loaded to drive home a guy shouted to me, I better should have bought an Atari instead. I replied "no way!".

Those were the times...
But current times are not bad either :-)

Post by: steve30 on February 28, 2006, 04:16:31 PM: Long topic. 5 pages in under on day!

Anyway, here's my collection of computers:

1997: A500+ with 1meg expansion card (A500+ now doesn't work)

1999: Dell 500MHz PIII (still my main computer)

2004: Old Compaq laptop (now kinda broken)

Feb 2005: Amiga 500+ with 512k expansion (also has stopped working now, so I'm A500less)

Oct 2005: Dell 400MHz Celeron, bought as spare computer or to use as a server, and is currently my main machine until I get the other dell fixed

Jan 2006: Commodore A1200 with Blizzard 1230. I want a new case and keyboard as half the screws are missing and it has a german keyboard. It now has an HD in and is really nice to use.

Post by: drewz21 on February 28, 2006, 05:13:40 PM: Well let's see. Here's my computer history/collection.

I started with a TI 99/4A with a speech synthesizer.
Then I went to an Atari 800XL.
Then to an Atart 65XE.
After that I got my first Amiga 500. Bone Stock.
The 500 got sold. :(
Got another Amiga 500. 1MB. External 3 1/2. 1084S.
Sold it. :(
Got my first IBM PC then. 386SX-16
Then a 486DX-33. (Kept that one a long time)
I had several other PC Clones that I won't bother to list. They all sucked anyway compard to my Amiga. :)

As of today I have the following.
Amiga 500 (not working)
Amiga 1000 with 2MB (It's a beautiful machine)
Amiga 2000
Amiga 2000HD with a 52MB HD
Amiga 4000 68040/25 with 16MB, 4GB HD, Toastscan, 3.1 ROMs, OS 3.5.
1084S Monitor
1080 Monitor
TONs of software. Quite a few spare parts too. I keep everything I'm not using in clear plastic containers so I can see what's inside.
I'm also looking forward to OS4.0 and some hardware to run it! :)

Oh and on the PC side I've got 2 x 3.2GHz machines the wife and I use to play Everquest2 on. A 1.7GHz IBM laptop I work on, 1 DELL 2.4GHz music/photo server, 3 DELL desktops for the kids to use all networked with wired 100MB Ethernet and 802.11G wireless. And I've got Tivo on my wireless network too. I love Tivo!

Nope. No crisis here. Don't feel my biological age at all. Except in the morning when I have to beat the alarm clock to death for waking me from a nights sleep. heh

no nasal hair problems (not much anyway !), but I am sprouting from me lug'oles. I still have plenty on top (about 2 foot !) and a beard you could lose a weasel in. actually, a small badger could hide in my hair - it is greying !

oh, Cyberus, I used to to that - (not with an 18 yr old, lucky goit !) but I can't get near the missus anymore. something to do with the cosequences of doing that 38 weeks ago ! and that was the 1st time in ages too ! might have to pay a visit to the pliers cupboard, just so I can restart recreatin', and stop procreatin' !

Oh, you young kids. I was around 12 when I saw my first computer in real life. Nobody I knew had ever seen a computer. My school managed to get a Commodore PET on loan for a few days and we were all amazed. (yes, the very first computer I saw was a Commodore!)

I am horrified when I think that there are now generations of kids who have only known Windows. At least it seems from this thread that a few discover the amazing Amiga. :-)

The person who moved in next door worked at a school that used amigas and I got to borrow one during the holidays. At my school we had Macs and BBCs (my current comprehensive school still uses BBCs in the science department).

I then bought an amiga from the school in 1997.

So I have had an amiga for quite a loing time.

1x Everex Freestyle
1x SE P900
1x SE P910i
1x Sega Megadrive
1x Gameboy (the original ones - not the colour or anything)

Why the surprise in so many younger users? The Amiga was the computer so many of us had as kids. I remember my brother getting his A500 in about 1990 when I was about 8 or so & then selling it a few years later - I hated him for that! Had a vic 20 & a C64 before that. My Mum works in a school & would bring a BBC or an Acorn 3000 home for me to use on holidays. That could be how I managed to liberate the A4 laptop :-D

Heh! I always used to want one of those - printing on real white-ish paper, rather than Sinclair's silver astro-bog-roll dispenser!

And some of the later ones had sound (well, beeper) amplifiers built in to assist the Spectrum's rather feeble buzzer!

Well, to make you more green-eyed (sorry!), I bought one QL, fully boxed and in great condition, with lots of Microdrive cartridges, for the princely sum of £5 at a radio/electronics fair about 10 years ago in the UK... Bargain!

That would be cool actually Eyso - I could drive up and see you some time; would be cool to catch up with Odin too...It's a 5 1/2 hour drive from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Groningen though, and that's not taking account of me getting to Dover and across La Manche.

Unless I can get the train across, or a cheap flight - but then I could probably only get to Amsterdam easily. Damn, why do you have to live all the way in the North of Netherlands?!?!

Seriously though, I haven't been to NL since they still had the Guilder!

Well, Odin is in Norge atm.
A cheap flight to Amsterdam will take 1 1/2 hour, and then there's a train straight to Groningen, wich will take 2 1/2 hour, and then it's a 6 mins walk from the station to where I live :-)
And why we all live in Groningen is because Groningen is a little backwards, that's what people from Holland think about us.

And oh yes, the guilder :cry:

My first computer (excluding a programmable HP calculator was an Osborne 1 (8 bit 4 MHz Z80A processor with 64k of memory!) The first time I saw an A1000 I was entranced, but the first Amiga I owned was an A2000 when they first came out. I ran that computer for years on the 68000 processor with 1 meg of memory until I finally got a hard drive card. The mere fact of having the hard drive card soaked up enough memory such that a number of my programs would no longer run, then I added 8 megs more memory. Imagine 9 megs of memory being about all that one could possibly use! I now have 7 different types of amiga (2000, 500, 600, 1200, 3000T, CDTV, and CD32) plus a number of Thinkpads and the family has at least 1 P4 class machine each.

Used my brother's A500 a lot when I was younger, which is when the Amiga bug bit. My first PC was a 486 though, followed by a 1Ghz Athlon system (now upgraded to a Athlon64 3000+). I've got a slightly-expanded A1200 which is great for playing games on at uni. Haven't exactly got the money at the moment for anything NG however :-(

Talking of which, are any students here on facebook? There's an Amiga group there (with a link to A.org no less!) but only 23 of us there.

Title: Re: How old are you?
Post by: Liber777 on December 21, 2006, 11:04:51 PM: I'm 39.

My first computer at age 14 was a Commodore 64 that I saved up for after taking a BASIC programming class on an Apple II. Adding a Koala Pad and its included paint program was my first foray into computer art.

I pre-ordered the Amiga 1000 when it was announced in 1985 and took home one of the very first ones with a green screen monitor! I was disappointed that I couldn't view the Mandril hires IFF at 256K RAM that was circulating back then and almost immediately ordered the front plate memory upgrade to 512K. Next up was a 1080 monitor and external floppy drive.

Sometime after Commodore released the Amiga 3000, they had a special "trade-in" deal where you could get $1000 off for owning a A1000 without trading in the actual machine! I had to go with my boss to the controller of the company I was working for then to ask for a pay advance so that I could make the cut-off date. The controller, visions of Lotus 123 in his head, tried to talk me into getting a PC instead!

This is the machine that really started taking me places. I eventually maxed out the RAM with 70ns ZIPs, 4MB/$200+ at a time, and bought a Retina BLT Z3 and 12x18" Wacom tablet. ImageFX and Imagine took me beyond DeluxePaint.

At university they had a Video Toaster system with LightWave that I was able to use a bit and then later I worked under a National Endowment for the Arts grant doing animation. The NEA grant paid for an Amiga 3000 system with an OpalVision card.

I eventually put together my own Video Toaster Flyer system in an A4000 that was always overheating so I kept the lid off and trained a fan on it. It looked like Frankencomputer with all the bits hanging out and the SCSI octopus for the audio and video drives.

I later sold the A4000 and traded away the A3000 for a Compaq Proliant server, a decision that I came to regret. I kept the A1000 for memory's sake. This was around 2000.

Now, six years later, I've started buying Amiga bits and pieces again to revive an idea I once had for an installation art piece, and to explore other tech that I couldn't afford back when it was all shiny...

Sorry for all the long wind...!

I see people are adding what computers they had, well I started off on the spectrum, stayed with that till 93 and then jumped on a CDTV, then moved to the PC in 94 and came back in the latter half of 94 after formatting the harddrive of the PC, I now use both PC's and Amiga's.
2 PC's (1x home, 1x work)
19 Amiga's
and a few others, like Sinclair QL's and such

Edit/// As of the 28th Dec Im 25

Wow! So there were still people using Speccies that late! And by that time, programmers had really got to grip with the Amiga's capabilities so it must have been a huge step up.

I took the Spectrum --> ST --> Amiga route, so there was less of a shock!

Oh, and I'm 34...

Now I'm not that much older. I'm going 28 the coming may.
And I don't like it. But the only way to stay young (in numbers) is to get shoved under ground. Since that I like that idea even less I guess 28 is fine ;)

20 here, with 16 years of computing experience, started with an Amstrad CPC 6128 when I was 4, moved to an Amiga600 when I was 6 and was on a beast of a 1200 up to 2002-3, when I first built my own PC (we had PCs around and I used to service PCs as well but for my own usage, I was Amiga-only up until then).
Title: Re: How old are you?
Post by: ElZorro on December 26, 2006, 10:17:42 AM: 35 is the number, but I feel much younger.

I bought my amiga in 1994, after using the C= 64.

In the mean time I used the Miggy only for making Music with Octamed. After a head-crash with the HD I realized I neglected the Amiga and now I take better care and be procautious.

I guess the average age should be around 30 ??

I had my first Amiga when the Amiga 1000 first came out.
I still play on it and use it. I even used the Maths discovery game recently.

Dadio on da Padio got it for us, and we always used to play on it. I miss that. But I know my other posts arent really what people want, as most of you desire to just get help on your current Amigas, But people, We can help each other here for bigger and Better things from this company.

Im going to have a little time off now and Work on my car, gotta sand it and stuff, But I will create One final post, whereby anyone who give suggestions on what I and fellow colleagues, and followers if there are any on this site and other forums, can do, to get Amiga in 2nd place.

Cheers 8-)

While I died for a few years, and used PC only, The Amiga revived me. And Im sure there are many others out there around the world that need to be revived, but just dont see the point, as no new systems are out with sufficient new BOING factor programs.
