Why hello there!

[TedDanson]

Greetings!

You must be wondering why a great actor like me has decided to join the site. Well, before you ask, yes, it is me, Ted Danson, the actor who played Sam Malone in Cheers and starred in films such as Three Men and a Baby, Three Men and a Little Lady, Gulliver's Travels, Loch Ness and Saving Private Ryan.

Why have I joined an amiga site I hear you ask? Well, since the late 1980's, i've had a love for these machines and even now with state-of-the art pc's, I still prefer to use my A1200. Let's face it, people, Amigas are far better than PC's.

Even though i'm getting on a bit (i'll be 58 at the end of December), I still love computers and I love using my amiga when I get some spare time to myself at home. Nothing like a good beer or a good cup of coffee while playing Doom on your amiga.

Anyway, I must leave. My wife Mary wants to use the computer. Feel free to ask questions about my career if you wish. If not, just chat to me about amigas, just as you would do with everyone else.

Best Wishes Everyone,

Ted Danson (aka Sam "Mayday" Malone from "Cheers")

[TedDanson]

Yes, it really is me, I can assure you. I want to share your love for Amigas.

As has already been mentioned, Amigas were used rather than PC's when I was filming Loch Ness, and I thought this was a fantastic idea.

As for Dick van Dyke joining the site, I'll try and contact him if I can, although I don't know him as well as other people do. Anyway, I think he's an Atari fan.

Best wishes to you all,

Ted Danson.

I'll get you an autographed photo, adz. Just give me your address and i'll make sure that one gets sent to you.

Best Wishes,

Ted Danson

[TedDanson]

Yes. Me and Steve Guttenberg are just friends.

I'm still doing various bits and pieces in the USA. Most recently, I have starred in Our Fathers, which was a drama that aired on American Television, and in a comedy called The Moguls, where I played a character called Moose. I also did the voice for a character in an animation called The Magic 7.

Most of my recent work hasn't been seen in Europe, as it has been mainly American-based stuff, but hopefully more work will come along and my fans in Europe will be able to see my acting in new projects.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

Thank you kindly for the welcome Karlos and Speelgoedmannetje.

Adz, I just received your PM, and will be sending one back shortly.

As for operating systems, I'm more of a fan of AmigaONE/OS4 to be perfectly honest. And I don't know Jenna Jameson personally, so no luck there mdma.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

It was great fun working with Larry David. He's an extremely funny man and I enjoyed working with him on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

As for a new series in the pipeline, i'm pretty certain that a fifth series of the show will be filmed.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

[TedDanson]

No. This is the real Ted Danson. I have absolutely nothing to do with CU_AMiGA. Anyway, who is Sumner and who is JonoPike?

If you wish Turambar, I can send you an autographed picture of myself to you. Just PM me with your name and address.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

[TedDanson]

I prefer this site to be totally honest, and although I'm a big fan of the AmigaONE system, I still prefer this site, even though most of the fans of AmigaONE are on amigaworld.net.

As for me posing for a picture with an amiga, i'll get one taken soon and i'll post it up on here for everyone to see.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

I don't believe in ghosts, so I don't believe that there was a ghost caught on the set of Three Men and a Baby, although other people that I did work with on that film were pretty sure that they saw a ghost.

As for starring in that film Amimac, I think I'll give it a miss. Playing parts like that don't really appeal to me. But thanks for asking anyway.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

Why are people questioning who I am? I am a fan of the amiga, and want to share your love for them.

As for the spec, it is just a co-incidence that it is the same as somebody else's. That is the spec for the Amiga that I have.

As for me being in the uk, well that must be some sort of mistake. I have some software on my computer so my I.P can change so it looks like i'm using my connection in a different country, so probably that is what the problem is.

Anyway, just keep sending your addresses and signed photos will be on the way to you. Then I can try my hardest to prove to you that I really am Ted Danson.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson

[TedDanson]

I've managed to take time out from my busy schedule to talk to you guys. Sorry I haven't been around much the last couple of weeks.

I'll make sure that each and every one of you that has requested a signed photo will receive one. Just give me a month or so and by then they should all be sent out.

I am extremely sorry about the wait, it's just that I've been a very busy man lately.

Best wishes,

Ted Danson
