Hi there - back in the Amiga fold - Hoo hoody hoo!!

Geetings to you all, I am now back in the Amiga fold after many years Amiga berift. I used to have a 600 that was used for games. It was the end of a long list of home computer ( TRS 80, Dragon 32, Spectrum, C64, Atari 800, Atari st's)before a 386!

I recently bought a  big, box of Amiga stuff for £5 at a boot sale in Essex (UK). In it was a a 600, A1200, A500 + GVP HD - ext floppy - something called a 520? an outboard video controller of some kind and lots of odd connectors. There was even an old vic20 in there!!

Not sure what to keep yet but It was a real thrill to power up the A1200 and play a couple of old games.

I asked the guy how much he wanted for it and he said a fiver - i didn't have the cheek to offer £2.50. I go to lots of car boots to look for old games (computer and board) My back room is now full of computers found for a few quid ( 5 X Atari ST's in various flavours- 4 C64's + 1541's, Various spectrums, Amstrads, MSX, 8 bit Atari's etc) - I buy the games and the computers normally get thrown in as the seller's don't want to take them home again!

Just playing with the A1200 and found that its got a 200mb hard drive in it - bonus - didn't come with any manuals and it's giving my memory banks a jolt trying to remember what's where!!

We also have a lot of 'charity shops' set up in every high Street I have about 30 within a couple of miles. They are great for old games on all sorts of platforms. Not sure if you get them in the US? They always have two 70+ ladies pricing things up at 25 pence talking about internal investigations at the hospital and what carried off their dear departed husbands.
