Another returns to the flock...
« on: December 29, 2004, 03:00:03 AM »
After a 10 year break I bought a new Amiga today.  Managed to snag an A4000 in very nice condition.  I had a new one when they first came out, when I saw this one on EBay this morning I had to jump.

I may know some of you...I was very active in the Amiga community.  Online at both the AmigaZone and at GENIE.  I managed to write for nearly every Amiga publication in the US including Compute, Amazing, and AmigaWorld.  I was also involved in the manuals for DCTV, Brilliance, and A-Max IV.  

I have an Amiga 600HD that I've been playing with for the last few weeks.  Hopefully the A4000 will arrive in the next week and I can go on the internet via the new machine!

Good to be back!!

Thanks to all!  I understand the comment about Windows...my house is Windows less!  The A-Max project got me involved in Macs....I only do Windows for money..hehe.

Best,

Bob

Hey Bob,

Can you tell us what kind of electronics were inside the DCTV?  I've always wondered...



Really good ones?  Seriously, never saw the inside of one.  We were handed early production units and beta software to write from  Most of my notes came from videos of the engineering/programming team explaining what they expected a certain feature to do.  Seriously, the nite I got my first look at DCTV I was stunned!  Haven't seen or heard from the old DC guys since Play folded.
