I guess it's finally time to forally introduce myself. I started out in the computer world with a Commodore 64 I purchased used in 1988. I really enjoyed playing games on that machine, but around 1990, I was finding it harder and harder to find new software. On the advice of a coworker, I got an Amiga 500. Boy what a difference. I proceded to add a harddrive and some more memory. After about a year, I upgraded to a 2000, which has been my main Amiga ever since. I went through the upgrade phase, using several different accellerators, adding a Picasso II card, etc. I also upgraded from O.S.1.3, to 2.0, snd 3.1. O.S.2.0 was and is still my favorite. Around 1995, Amiga hardware/software was becoming as scarce as hen's teeth in my area, so I migrated to the PC scene, and put all my Amiga stuff in storage. About a year ago, I found UAE while browsing the internet. I played with it awhile, finally purchasing Amiga Forever. While I liked the way it worked, it just wasn't the same, so I dug out my old Amiga stuff from my parents house. I then found out you could still find hardware on the internet, and I once again had the bug. I am know awiting my X-Surf I purchased from Redrumloa (Patiently, as I know it is backordered, and the have to deal with hurricane damage), so I can free up some slots in my Amiga to put the SCSI card back in, so I can boot from a Zip Drive, allowing me to easily switch between 2.0 and 3.1 (2.0 for games and such, 3.1 for networking and surfing the net). I want to say thanks to Wayne for his great site, and thanks to everyone who helped with my questions while I was setting my 2000 back up.
