Ok, let's add my 'story'...

I had my first computer (the mandatory C64) when I was 13, back in about '84 and payed for it with the money earned in a summer's hard work. Lots of fun and slowly expanding it over the years, I became aware of the Amiga. First the A1000 (which was wáy out of my league), and then the A500/A2000.

Wow! That was it! I _had_ to have an A500! After finding enough money I bought an A500 with A1084 in 1988. Within one or two months I also bought an A501 and an A1010, as the A500 was not really usable without them. I kept on expanding my A500 with a 24 pin matrix printer, an 80 MB harddrive (MacroSystem Evolution), 2 MB fastram and a KCS Power PC Board. A pretty hefty setup back in the days, but I found myself using the MS-DOS side (Power PC Board!) most of the time. After I got out of the army I looked at my bankaccount (which had quite a nice amount of money on it, thanks to the Dutch Army!) and bought a hideously expensive 486DX2/66 with 8 MB ram and a 245 MB harddrive in 1993. The A500 went out, like the C64 a few years before that.

That was the last time I only had one computer. Since then, I started to build up a respectable amount of computers, most of them setup in my dedicated computerroom. Apart from my Windowscomputers, I have several Commodore 8 bits machines and two Amigas (A1200 & A3000), all of them ready to run. I tend to (slowly) expand these classics as much as I can, taking them to where I would never even have thought about back in the days when either my C64 or my A500 were my maincomputers.
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200

@ Laser:
- learn how to use interpunction;
- learn how to use capitals;
- learn how to type English;
- get a life.

Nofi, ofcourse...
