Hi all,
thought I'd better stop lurking and say hello!
Got my first Amiga as a much needed upgrade from my Amstrad CPC back in the day.
My trusty A600HD was the most amazing thing of my school days and unfortunately we parted company when I went to college as I "needed" a PC.
Things then went from bad to worse as my initially DOS based system moved on to OS/2 and then Windows 3.1
More recently I became a Linux user after one too many blue screens of death from Windows Vista, discovered Amiga emulation and got the Amiga bug again.
After moving house I came across some old Amiga floppies and decided to get a proper Amiga again. I acquired a non-working A500, swapped in a refurbished motherboard from Amigakit and got stuck into a serious session of Turrican 2!
Since then I've kitted out my pride and joy with a GVP hard drive and upgraded kickstart and workbench to v2... and replaced the floppy drive a couple of times 
I know you can attach a SCSI CD-ROM to the GVP hard drive, is this a worthwhile upgrade for a 500? Also I've seen SD floppy emulators on ebay, would anyone recommend one as an alternative to relying on a dwindling supply of A500 floppy drives?
Hi,
Well welcome back to the loony bin amiga.org.
This is the place were you will soon realise that there is nothing that we can agree on.
But
You have really picked the right time to join back up, since we lost Franko, the most argumentative, dunderhead that ever showed his writing on Amiga.org. This guy disrupted every forum we ever posted on. Luck on our side this Scottish (he claims, but I really do think he was Irish by the way he acted) phoney says he has made his last post, so we won't be a wee bit bothered by him again.
So welcome back to the Amiga, the most Amazing computer ever built.
