Title: Hello from the Highlands & Islands of Scotland
Post by: maff20 on February 02, 2009, 08:07:19 PM

Hello people!!
Just joined the site today after catching the amiga bug all over again. I used to own a 500+(cartoon classics) and then an a1200 desktop dynamite pack back in the day, these systems are long gone (boy how i wish id kept them now) but over the last 2 days i have just spent close to £200 buying myself a first edition A500 (kickstart 1.2) an A600 and an A1200, floppy disks, joysticks, games.... the list goes on and i think i probably need a stern talking to from the other half before i max out my credit card;)

As far as knowledge of the systems go i am going to need to do a vast amount of reading before modifying these systems (the 1200 primarily) as i was rather young when i owned my previous amigas an although not oblivious to the potential of the systems, the hardware was wayyyyyy to pricey for me. anyway....

Long story short, hi, im Matt, very excited about my new/old/rekindled hobby and i hope all you knowledgable persons wont mind helping me out when it comes to upgrading my systems etc.

Cheers for reading my waffle

Boing

Greetings Matt!

Users in Scotland are woefully few and far between, but there's a new user group we're trying to set up here - http://scottishamiga.webs.com/index.htm

It hasn't really taken off, but well, it's a start!

Cheers,
AndyC (Fife)

Welcome! I think you'll enjoy your stay.. Hmmm, 'Amiga' and 'max. out your credit card' go together like ham and eggs.... (as my 4000T has demonstrated)  :lol:

Hi,

To paraphrase Little Britain.

And I thought I was the only Amigan in the Highlands.


Bill.
