Good day from Canada

[Mangar]

Hey all,

I'm a long time amiga user from Belleville, Canada. I've still have my A2000 all setup and still working from 1988. I also have my A1200 I bought from the WOC in 1992 or was it 1993? I can't remember. Thought I'd introduce myself and I would like to ask the following Question:

Are there any Amiga Dealers left in Canada? How am I supposed to get my hands on one of these machines running OS4. I'm chomping at the bit.

Also would like to know if there are any amiga nuts left in Canada. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in these parts.

Thanks for the information. The AMICUE looks to be a fairly active user group. I'll have to checkout Softhut.

Livewire seems to have been the only dealer left in Canada but now they are closed.

Hopefully there is one out there, somewhere, but somehow I doubt it. I wish Hyperion wrote AOS4 to work on any PPC system. Since they don't have an easy way in North America to get these machines.

Wonder if this AMY05 machine will be more easily available?

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I'm Originally from Nova Scotia, lived in Toronto for 26 years and lived in Belleville the past 4. Everyone I knew back in the early 90's owned an Amiga. I knew of 5-6 Amiga dealers in my part of Toronto alone. Then everything disappeared around 1996.

It's good to see there are still Canadians kicking around on their Amiga. Great to hear that some of you have OS4. The Amiga has been a hobby of mine for so many years I'd pay 1000 bucks for an A1. However, I have trouble bringing myself to pay for customs charges. On an A1, if there are still any available, I can just imagine them nailing me for a few hundred bucks.

I think its a sign of the strong community that the Amiga is still around even though noone but us really notices. These people are developing software for OS4 not for commercial success but for their love of the computer.

I have a few PC's and even an old C-64 but nothing draws me like an Amiga. I have fun just looking through my directories using DiskMaster. I never did like DirOpus but last time I tried it was in 93. It's not that I'm crazy but the Amiga was a fun computer to use. I don't get the same from Windows, Linux or MacOS. Maybe its just the Nostalgia factor. Yet, maybe its something more.
