Title: Hello from the Netherlands
Post by: Buzzfuzz on April 11, 2010, 08:24:17 PM

Hello from the Netherlands :)
 
I've been around here already after picking up my Amiga hobby again.
Started in 1982 when one of my old friends Onno introduced me to his C64.
Was hooked after playing with it a few times, but just couldn't afford one of my own.
He got an Amiga 500 in 1985 right after the introduction, was probably one of the first few to own such a machine in the Netherlands.
A few months after I got my own C64II and continued to play on his A500.
Got my own A500 from an aunt years later, dragged that thing to few computer clubs and expanded my disk collection to over 1200.
In 1994 I gave up the Amiga and started with pc's as I needed one for my education.
Did a few steps from a P75 to P300 and 450 and then went to P4 2.53GHZ and now a Core I7 975 with everyting on it.
 
Just recently picked up my Amiga's again from the garage and added one A500 to the already existing 2 A500's, 3 A1200's with 2 blizzard iv 1230's @ 50 mhz and 64mb and 1 mtec 030 and yesterday picked up an Amiga 4000/030, alot of euro's invested already, but worth it :)
The 4000's case isn't in great shape and so was it's battery, but I removed that with the help of a few posts and links here and some links on amiga.org.
I think once I have that amiga in a pc tower with atx psu and a few mods, it will be my workstation for all WHDload's and adf's that I need to drop on the A1200's.
Those 3 machines are fitted with CF cards and CC Reset fix and kickstart 3.1
 
So already learned a lot from this board and hope to learn some more and ofcourse try to help out when I can, I retained a lot of knowledge because I was up and running in no time, although I thought I would have forgotten most things :)
 
(For those of you who saw my intro on English Amiga board, yeah I copied it, cause I'm lazy :D )

You got a spare room? I want to get out of the states and the last I checked you were not part of the U.N. or E.U. so I think it's safe there...

...for the time being!

We can play Amiga all day! :)

:lol:

When was the last time you checked? The Netherlands is part of not only the U.N., it was amongst the 12 founding members of the E.U. and is an active participant of NATO.

My female friend from the Netherlands misinformed me. Crap!

I guess I'm North Pole bound in that case.

Yep, grew up with it, but soon after I devolped a taste for trance and that's my main target for music, Armin van Buuren is one of my favo's.
Techno is a good second.
Eurodance and all that old Turn Up The Bass stuff is third.
Fourth would be alternative rock, stuff like Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Fuel, Static X and so on.
Fifth, last but not least is rap/hip pop, anything goes.
 
Yeah couldn't resist anymore, pc games are fun also, but once in a while you want to go retro and my Amiga was looking at me as if she said "Come on, fire me up again" :biglaugh:
 
But when I got the A1200's and the internet's help on how to add WHD packs and ADF's, that was it.
But I'm still going to backup my floppy's as well.
