To answer the question in subject, yes, there are !
 
In the beginning of the 90-is two things happend. The golden age (or the original wave as some1 called it) of the Amiga scene/movement ... which I've completely missed out becouse of the second thing that happend. The war in Yugoslavia. So, as it happens with wars, the living standards droped exponentialy, the wages went down, we were struggling for survival and there was NO way my folks would EVER buy me an Amiga ... or any computer for that matter. I was 13 years old, and in a way, I feel like me childhood was stolen from me. Most of my friends had home computers (mostly Amigas and Ataris, some C64s etc) except me. As I was growing up I've seen the fall of Commodore (and Atari for that matter), the more and more powerfull PCs popping out of every corner ... everywhere ... to to point where you could buy one in a house appliance stores, right next to the washing machines. Anyhow, I finally got my first Amiga (500) two years ago. Don't get me wrong, I could've get it earlier, but it happend 2 years ago as a gift. A friend gave it to me, and just like a trigger reaction (must have brought those missed childhood years back to mind) I now own two A500 machines, 1084s, 3 external fdds, loads of books and software, a working Amiga Explorer setup, lots of peripherals like joysticks, joypads, KS switcher boards etc ... am seriously looking at Mika's IDE and Kipper's RAM boards, and am preparing to buy A1200 becouse ... you know, AGA is AGA. :) Soo ... yeap, new user here alright.
