Hello, I'm from Germany, very close to the Dutch border (near Venlo). I just saw my last posting here was in 2004, when I still had my Pegasos II...
Well, I was never really away, but only reading hear, and writing in my own language at a German forum. That certain forum is slowly dying, with most of the "good guys" left, so I'm looking for a new home.

Welcome, this is the place to be for all things Amiga, including Classic, AmigaOS4.x, MorphOS and AROS.
Usually the friendliest Amiga people can be found here, but we do have our moments of tearing each other apart (what forum site doesn't). I have been a member for several years and lurked here for even longer before that.
So, again let me say welcome. What Amiga equipment do you have now since you no longer have your PegasosII? (Now that the Peg2 can run both AmigaOS4.x and MorphOS I don't have to worry about some fanatic giving me a hard time for calling the Peg2 Amiga equipment)

I'm currently using an A 1200 with a scandoubler at an VGA-TFT monitor in a selfmade case. The keyboard will be replaced with another, more steampunk looking than the current A 2000 keyboard. It has a HD with 4 GB, accelerator board with 68030/40 MHz and 8 Mb fastmem. Here it is:

I'm going to get a "new" Amiga 4000 desktop in the next 2 weeks, I hope.
And of course I'm using WinUAE with AmigaOS 3.9.

@Dr. Zarkov
Would you be so kind to not drag your personal problems with certain individuals in the "german forum" to different boards. There is no need for you to state things that simply are not true.
If however, you can support the statements you make, please step in contact with one of the administrators or other staff.
Thank you very much.

Greetings! :pint: I still have some family in southern Germany (Ulm). Unfortunately my German is rather terrible though... :lol:
-
@amigarules2k: What are you talking about? I did not mention a name of a forum, or worse: any names of persons! And I was not going to do so.
-
is that a plastic encased spec sheet up there?

@Weirdami: yes, it is. The photo was taken at the "Classic-Computing 2008" in Moers last year.

Welcome back to a forum that seems very much alive!
Cool casing for the monitor in the image,
talk about retro-computing!
-can you receive radiochannels on it too? :lol:
-
Hi Dr. Zarkov :-D
-
Welcome back Dr. Zarkov. All the best on amiga.org.

@Voyager74:
can you receive radiochannels on it too?
Not radio, but TV: The scandoubler is not just a scandoubler, it is an external TV-tuner for VGA-monitors. Unfortunally it's only for analogue TV, the only channel here in this area left is RTBF 1 from Belgium, in bad quality, if I would connect an antenna. The rest became digital some time ago...

Welcome
See you are a red dwarf fan
-
JJ: Yes, I am! :-)
a-pex: Sorry that you feel spoken to. You did a great job when you've created your forum. But unfortunally some things went very wrong when you took a little break from your "leadership". I was and I am not interested in having trouble with anybody. But a certain bustling moderator stopped me from seeing any sense in writing anything more. As you can see from my log-in times, I still regulary watch and read in your forum, I just took the decision not to post there any more. You should respect that without "playing the offended liver-sausage" (as we say in German) ;-)

Explain.

First part: I am a big fan of "Red Dwarf". :-)
Second part:
Apex is the founder of a community and bigger forum, www.a1k.org. My last posting there was about half a year ago. In the start of this thread here a certain "amigarules2k" (obviously another member of a1k.org, I don't know his user-name at a1k.org) and a-pex felt offended by my recent postings here. I think that should really be enough to explain, I will not go into details. I'm not interested in any silly fightings, and I don't understand their remarks here. The two seem to feel attacked by me, forgetting that there is another big forum in Germany which I left by completly different reasons, also without any trouble just by not posting there any more.

Now that's one heck of a saying, whatever it means! :lol: Now I think I must work towards introducing that into Swedish as well! :-)
-
The German expression is: "die beleidigte Leberwurst spielen". A good translation would be "acting like a Prima Donna". ;-)

Welcome back to the Amiga forums. Nice to see you posting again. i lived in Germany for 6 years by Hessich Oldendorf in a town called Renteln (I think thats how its spelt). Anyways I love Germany and had a wonderful time there. Cheers!!!

Welcome :-)
I live in Denmark, north of Germany. I had a short visit to Germany in january, just to fill my (german) car with cheap beer, soda and candy. I visited a friend just about 30km north of Germany, I could not resist to shop a little across the border :lol:
-
Unfortunally Denmark is quite far away from here, I'm much faster in London than in Copenhagen. The stories about Danish hotdogs are very famous in Germany, they say they are the best in the world. :-) I would like to try it, together with a pint of good denish Øl :-D

And approximately 250 km north of the German border..
