Hi Everyone!

[Darklight]

Hi All.  I've been hanging around here, reading posts etc for the last while but only just got around to joining.  

I'm a long time Commodore user - first comp was a Commodore 64 (although I can't really remember it...I was born in 84, lol) which we sold to get an A500 which we've had ever since (and it's still going like the day we got it).  I recently picked up an A600 with 1084s and WB disks for $10AUD a couple of weeks ago, and the prospect of being able to install all my old OCS games onto the HD with WHDload or something similar got me interested in Amiga again.  I've installed a Seagate 2gb HD into it, and I'm really loving it all over again.  
Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself, and I'll be seeing you around.  :-)

Thanks Cyberus, I will.

Currently I'm keeping an eye out for an A1200.  The A600 got me into the scene again, but there's only so much you can do with it, and it'd be great to play all those AGA games I never got to, lol.

Thanks for that nex4060.

I'll check it out and see if I can find anywhere with A1200's in stock.  The problem is going to be trying to find one in Australia... :-o Stock A1200's go for shockingly high prices over here, as the only source most people can find them is ebay.  If I can get a new one from overseas, that'd be great.
Anywhere you would recommend looking?

Thanks

Thanks for that, I'll check it out and let you know how I get on.  :-)

[Darklight]

Thanks heaps for the help guys  :-)

LOL, hehehe, I had this sig as my name on MSN Messenger for a while.....you'd be surprised how often I got asked that question  :-D

Thanks for the advice, Holley & Azryl.  I checked out Anything Amiga, but they're down for maintenance at the moment.  :-( I might send them an e-mail to see what they've got.  I'll also look at putting a wanted ad on Amibench and see if that turns up anything.

Holley, if you could ask your mates for suggestions, that'd be great thanks  :-)

Thanks again for all the help  :-)

Don't know about that shop, odin....I really just got back into it, so I'm still learning stuff. :-?

On the plus side, I ended up getting myself a 1200 today.  I got an official second chance email from ebay on one that I missed out on a couple of days ago (the highest bidder was non-paying).  So I immediately went over and got it, lol.  Stock A1200HD with 3.1 Roms and RTC fitted (lithium battery).  So I'm going to put my 2gb HD in there and put the 175mb it came with in the 600  :-D

Hey, thanks for that swordfish & mgerics.  I already feel like I'm starting to fit in, lol.

Yep, born in 84, turned 20 this year.  I've always had a fondness for Amiga, simply because I grew up with them, I guess.  I'm just glad there's places like this around where this great platform is still recognised.
