Title: Introduction
Post by: gpattenden on November 30, 2012, 12:42:46 PM

Hi All,

I'm an Avionics Engineer in the garden of England. I've used Commadore computers since a C64 in the 80's. Was lucky enough to get an early A500 from Silica Shop when they first came out and never looked back. Now I have a collection of some 30+ Amigas from a A1000 to a towered A1200 68060. I'm facinated by the number of people still developing hardware, and software for the miggy.
And still impressed by the operating system. I've recently revived my interest and want to see what's going on. This looks like a good place to start.

Any suggestions of other likely sources appreciated. (I still use Aminet & Ebay, for Software and Hardware)

Take a look at AmiBay.net - retrotrading mainly Amiga.

Amibay is the obvious choice for stuff. However I came across some items on places like preloved and gumtree. Just a matter of keeping an eye on them to see if something pops up.
