Title: Hello from Huddersfield in the UK! :)
Post by: XenonXZ on March 03, 2011, 09:13:12 AM

Hello everyone :)

My names Richard, I've used Amiga's since the  age of 7, first I had an A600 which has lasted until last year.. I use a PC running Gentoo Linux these  days, but I have plans to get a SAM4xx mobo with OS4 someday (When I have enough cash) :)

My last project was an A1200 with a blizzard 030 MkIII @ 40mhz (16mb FRAM) with OS3.5 and WHDLoad, which satisfies my retro gaming and Amiga cravings for now...

This place looks really cool and I will defo be here for a long time :)

Welcome aboard,
Hope you enjoy yourself. Lot's of fun to be had here, but it can also get a bit weird from time to time :) So long as you can overlook people being passionate to the point of being silly sometimes you should enjoy yourself. Doesnt hurt to be slightly oddball either  :)

Ecky thump and eee bah gum lad... :)

Welcome to the last place on the planet where if you weren't mad before you joined, you soon will be... :D

PS:There's no point in trying to leave here, I tried it once, but after less than two weeks the withdrawal symptoms got the better of me and now I'm a permanent resident here... ;)

That's just like me, I actually have a tattoo of Tux on my right leg... I am going to get the boing ball, but not got round to it yet :) :roflmao:

I've never been into tatoos ... but a boing ball does sound kinda tempting!!!

You immediately made me think of this song by The Exploited.

Sam4xx makes a nice Amiga upgrade if you use your Amiga for more than just classic games.  I guess you're already aware of the alternatives too.

Your A1200 sounds like the ideal classic gaming system.
