New/Old guy
« on: August 16, 2006, 03:29:13 AM »
My fellow Amigans.

I can't say that I am new to it. No, sir. I got my 1st Amiga (A500) back in '91. I could keep it almost for one whole year. Life had another plans though and I had to sell it. After a couple of years using PCs and Macs, I finally bought a brand-new-sealed-in-the-box Amiga1200HD. Nice thing. I also bought a scandoubler, an Apolo 1230, SCSI PCMCIA Interface and CDRom Drive. Spent a couple of hours wit it. Many hours acctually. And then again, it went to wardrobe.

Well, now things are different, and that I am sure. I've already have a place to it, time to dedicate and well, if not *that* much money, at least more than I used to have. Time is now. I already bought a couple of things like a PCMCIA Network adapter, a new and bigger HD and WB3.1 and 3.9. Planning to acquire a new Amiga in the next few years. It's gonna be cool.

For all this I will need this forum and I'll need some help. Maybe a lot of help. So many different new Amigas are out there, so many different OS's... I feel somewhat both confused and delighted. It's good to see people like you, like us, here talking about a 20 years passion. This is totally Amiga. Many thanks. It's nice to be back.

Long live Amiga. :-)

Hi Pierre,

>You can trick that 1200 quite a bit

Nice. I was wondering how. For one thing I'd like to keep it in the original case because I love the design. I may buy a second 1200 to put in the tower but is this better than save some money to buy a new Amiga like an A1 or Pegasus?

>What kind of things are you interested in doing with it?

Having fun. I'm not that much into games anymore, but I spend quite some time on internet. I'd love to see some ways to create TeX files, generate PDF's, create graphics and webpages and use some web/email. This is a good summary, I guess.
