Hello,
I am posting around on this forum for a week now, and today I nothissed this section...
Hello everyone!
I'm Berry Bakker and I live in the Netherlands. Quite nice to see I'm not the only Dutchman around here :-) I'm 15 (yes 15!!!) years old, and I like OLD games and computers :-D Especially the Amiga :-D :-D :-D I've bought an Amiga 500 a year ago, but couldn't use it because I didn't had a power supply and software. Last week I've got an Amiga 500 with a lot of software from some nice people, they didn't need it anymore, but I'd loved to addopt the old girl :-) Now she's running fine, I'm gonna get a Syncdoubler or Multisync monitor for her, a joystick and a mouse :-)
:-D :-)
-
It´s "scandoubler", not "syncdoubler". :)
-
Is it? I've seen Syncdoublers and Scandoublers :-)
Scandoubler does ...?? :-?
Syncdoubler doubles the HSync frequention. That's what I need :-)
-
Scandoubler Changes 15khz amiga video output to 30 + so standard VGA monitors can display 15khz screens.

Well, regardless of your horizontal frequency, welcome to Amiga.org :-)

Hoya!
Cool to see a young lad owning an Amiga and being proud of it!!! :-)
Now, you MUST take *The Wow*!
Repeat after me:
I hereby declare that Micro$oft smells (ALWAYS use $ instead of S when you spell m$!).
I hereby declare that today's consoles are NO fun, only a CD32 is worth my time.
I hereby declare that 3D is NO better than bitmap. As a consequence, bitmap rules.
I swear to stop listening to the radio and to listen to Amiga Modules (also known as MODS) ONLY.
I hereby declare to erect an altar to the memory of Jay Miner (before you ask, the Genius who created our beloved computer) in my bedroom.
I hereby declare that peecees (ALWAYS use this spelling for extra sarcastic effect) have been created by Satan, and thus are EVIL, and that I will ALWAYS wash my hands thoroughly after being FORCED to use them.
I hereby declare than SpeedBall 2 is the greatest game EVER and that MAD is my favourite Amiga Org (a.k.a AOrg) member.
Welcome to the World of Amiga, to AOrg and enjoy your stay! ;-)
Be funky

Not to forget the CDTV :-o (or the C=64 GS)

Exceptions are: non-textured 3d polygons or voxels.

Ah, what else should I do :-) Micro$oft sucks, C64 uses Micro$oft BASIC :-( XBox is Micro$oft, don't even wanna try it! Gamecube is to... Nintendo :-P (and to purple :-) ) Playstation is not nice... Amiga has everything :-D I dunno what it is, it has something :-D Realy nice :-)
-
May I say to you that Amiga has it's M$ ba$ic too?
Micro$oft just had put their bets on the whole computer market back then.
Ah well, my love for the Amiga is based on: coooool games and preemptive (real, cooperative is fake) multitasking and smooth easy-to-use gui.

Yes, but you don't need to use Amiga BASIC. If you wanna load a game on the C64 you need to use M$ BASIC :-( Appart from that, C64 is also VERY cool :-D

ME LOVE THE GAMES TOOOOOOOO :-D

Hoya!
@Speel
Well, ok if you consider the CDTV a console...
As for the 3D bit, of course you are right!
Stunt Car Racer anyone? ;-)

I remember those days, give it 10 years and you'll look back and remember how green you were!
At 17 I was using the 'evil' basic to load Llamasoft games from my 1541 disk drive, and the future was here. Of course at that time the guys older than me were still lamenting over the PET ... and so the circle of life is complete!
Evil_Nerd - you're English is better than my Dutch, so I promise not to nitpick :-P Now keep your eye out for an A530 upgrade!

Ok, cool. One thing, why have many people around here have a cat as avatar? :-D I like them :-) There CUTE :lol: :-D

@evil_nerd
I might be a bit late, but welcome :banana:

Me too :-D
It's quite amazing that anyone our age knows much about the miggy, seeing as we would have been about 7 when C= died :-(

I think it's due to cat people trying to push dogpeople out of Amiga.org. :kitty: :kitty:
Plus the semiofficial A.org mascot (Karmakitty) is a cat too ;-).
