I'm back again
« on: March 15, 2009, 03:55:57 PM »
Hello, I'm from Germany, very close to the Dutch border (near Venlo). I just saw my last posting here was in 2004, when I still had my Pegasos II...
Well, I was never really away, but only reading hear, and writing in my own language at a German forum. That certain forum is slowly dying, with most of the "good guys" left, so I'm looking for a new home.

I'm currently using an A 1200 with a scandoubler at an VGA-TFT monitor in a selfmade case. The keyboard will be replaced with another, more steampunk looking than the current A 2000 keyboard. It has a HD with 4 GB, accelerator board with 68030/40 MHz and 8 Mb fastmem. Here it is:



I'm going to get a "new" Amiga 4000 desktop in the next 2 weeks, I hope.

And of course I'm using WinUAE with AmigaOS 3.9.

@amigarules2k: What are you talking about? I did not mention a name of a forum, or worse: any names of persons! And I was not going to do so.

@Weirdami: yes, it is. The photo was taken at the "Classic-Computing 2008" in Moers last year.

@Voyager74:

can you receive radiochannels on it too?


Not radio, but TV: The scandoubler is not just a scandoubler, it is an external TV-tuner for VGA-monitors. Unfortunally it's only for analogue TV, the only channel here in this area left is RTBF 1 from Belgium, in bad quality, if I would connect an antenna. The rest became digital some time ago...

JJ: Yes, I am! :-)

a-pex: Sorry that you feel spoken to. You did a great job when you've created your forum. But unfortunally some things went very wrong when you took a little break from your "leadership". I was and I am not interested in having trouble with anybody. But a certain bustling moderator stopped me from seeing any sense in writing anything more. As you can see from my log-in times, I still regulary watch and read in your forum, I just took the decision not to post there any more. You should respect that without "playing the offended liver-sausage" (as we say in German)    ;-)

First part: I am a big fan of "Red Dwarf". :-)

Second part:
Apex is the founder of a community and bigger forum, www.a1k.org. My last posting there was about half a year ago. In the start of this thread here a certain "amigarules2k" (obviously another member of a1k.org, I don't know his user-name at a1k.org) and a-pex felt offended by my recent postings here. I think that should really be enough to explain, I will not go into details. I'm not interested in any silly fightings, and I don't understand their remarks here. The two seem to feel attacked by me, forgetting that there is another big forum in Germany which I left by completly different reasons, also without any trouble just by not posting there any more.

The German expression is: "die beleidigte Leberwurst spielen". A good translation would be "acting like a Prima Donna". ;-)

Unfortunally Denmark is quite far away from here, I'm much faster in London than in Copenhagen. The stories about Danish hotdogs are very famous in Germany, they say they are the best in the world. :-) I would like to try it, together with a pint of good denish Øl :-D
