Title: Hi from NZ
Post by: balrog74 on January 17, 2025, 12:57:14 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm a former A500 (Kickstart 1.2) user of the 80s/90s. I absolutely loved it and consider it my first "proper" computer (previously had the C64 which was also great).
It got me into modems and bulletin boards (I even ran my own BBS for a time), as well as being quite a social thing in those days.

I've been using Apple Macs for quite a while now, but occasionally would run up an old Amiga game under emulation. I came across the A600GS fairly recently and have one on order for a bit of fun.  ;)

Cheers!
