Greetings

Hello everyone.. I am both an old school and new Amiga user.  My Amiga roots start with the Amiga 1000, back when it was new and the 2MB of RAM expansion we bought was the biggest thing around! I remember the first time I played a game on it, I thought I had finally discovered the ultimate computer for games and graphics!  Anyway, rather than bore you all with my nostalgic meanderings I'll bring you to the present.  I would like to relive some of my misspent youth (spent in front of the screen of a monitor playing games on that Amiga 1000) and in part this is because I have recently been given an Amiga 2000.  Thus my journey here.  I will post to the other forums with more questions and details about what I am hoping to accomplish, but I wanted to say hi!

Thanks for your kind reply!  I hope to get some of those smart people to help me. :-)

Hey, I've been the 1000 route.  I am not entirely sorry I don't have to do it again!  I remember when we would get the GURU messages we would get so angry (my father, brother and myself were the primary users).  My father thought that the messages were very unprofessional and if they wanted to sell Amigas as a serious computer for the professional they should have better error messages.  I just didn't like it when it crashed my games.  Hey, what can I say, I was a self-preoccupied teenager.  Anything that messed with that was bad.

Hello Lymang.

Amigas have come a long way since the 16-bit versions you're familiar with.  If you have a PC then I'd suggest buying Amiga Forever so you can run emulate every Amiga that ever existed (except the PowerPC-based models) and run lots of software from Back to the Roots.

And welcome to Amiga.org!   :-D

Thanks!  I did in fact end up buying Amiga Forever so I would have the Amiga Explorer software.

So far I've not had a chance to get everything running but soon!
