retro/oldskool (depending on how old you are) is good.

hey, uh darklight (hope I got your nick right. wasnt paying full attn), I have an amiga fanatic friend from emu plains. He's in the UK right now at sony tho.

I love seeing my cranky yellow a500 chugging along. To be honest though, recently I've been getting c64 cravings. Might connect one up next week and have a bash.

The amiga dealer in bathurst was selling, if i remember correctly, an a2000 for $1300. Great place to buy unused parts if you have a very fat wallet.

I got my mitts on my old apple ][e again today. That should be fun. cruddy graphics, awful sound. But theres just something about them.

the apple ][e is the first computer I ever used. my school had one. pretty rare for a rural primary school at the time to have one. By an odd coincidence, the ][e I used to use is the one I own. Except it has a few cards I borrowed from an apple 2 I have.

I lived in bathurst for a while to go to tafe (dip.IT)and uni (b.compSci Unfinished :-(  ). grew up in the general area. I know other amiga fans too.

The guy at the shop proudly displays his official amiga dealership certificate. He has a wall dedicated to ami software. He has x86 stuff too, to stay in business I imagine.
He also has 'new' ie unpurchased ram expansions at new prices etc etc. Talk about a zealous defender of the faith!
