Always nice to see more NZ people on the forums, I'm based in Christchurch.

The last Amiga group in NZ I was aware of, Amiga Auckland, hasn't been around since 2022, after one of the main committee members passed away.  Someone in Auckland still looks after the club software/document library, I can find contact details if interested.

Apparently there's a NZ Fascistbook group, I get contacted by them for repair jobs.  Not sure who's on there or the topics of discussion, I don't do social media.  Not aware of any physical meetups nationally either.

I tend to focus on national/international hardware repair jobs and support, contract/commercial Amiga hardware development work, and a bit of 68k software development.  I'm not particularly interested in games, the Amiga is mainly a work machine.   My website, which never gets enough attention from me, has been continuously running on an A4000T for nearly 25 years: http://amiga.serveftp.net/sysinfo.xgi

Not sure about trying to do software development on an unaccelerated A500.  While it's possible, the lack of a decent source code editor would be painful.  I use CubicIDE myself, mainly for C and ARexx, though you'd need an expanded system to run that.
