Yep, that's me too! :-)

These days there's really not too much you'd want to do with your amiga, apart from relive the past - I'm sure that's why 99% of Amiga users still hang onto/hoard this gear.

I used to (until very recently) collect vintage home computer gear and when I actually sat down and thought about it, it was all due to not being able to get/afford most of that stuff when I was a kid, so I was making up for it!

Now most of my gear is gone, apart from my Vic-20, C64 and (newly purchased) A1200. I'm planning on getting the A1200 connected to my XP network, but only really to prove I CAN, rather than use it for any productive reason.

I'm sure some people continue on using their souped-up, top-of-the-line Amigas on a day to day basis, but I'm not that masochistic! :-(

For me it's all about the past and how the Amiga made me feel when I was a kid, and occasionally tinkering with things like CF card readers and networking, just so I can still be 'amazed' by the Amiga.

Cheers,

Mike.
