This is my first post and I am returning to the Amiga scene after several years away (forced into using a PC-work related).
I was absoloutly amazed at the sheer amount of people still very active and continuing to use an Amiga.
Commecially the machine died a long time ago yet here we are in 2006 and the whole scene seems more abuzz than when I first got my A1200 in '92. Sure its hard to find any new games software, but hey! when there are games like Alien Breed, Cannon Fodder and the like, who NEEDS new games?
As for hardware-AMIGAKIT are fantastic on price and the sheer amount of products.
My current project is to 'spice' up my A1200! My current spec is Commodore A1200. Apollo MK2 '030'/50mHz+32 MB Ram, OS3.9, 60gb HD (2.5"-not installed yet-not straight forward I know), CF flash adaptor (Amiga-Kit) 1GB Flash card. It's all in bits at the moment but I am looking forward to getting going again-stuck on a few things so I will be asking lots of 'dumb' questions soon!!!
I have personlly come back to the Amiga simply for the pleasure of using it, getting into the guts of it, playing games on it, watching spinning doughnuts! and so on.
WinUAE is great but it ain't like the real thing and I'm more interested in the Amiga now more then I ever was.
I'd personaly like to thank all of you who have stuck with the Amiga and have given me something to come back to.
PS I hop all this Amiga Inc. stuff gets sorted soon so perhapes a 'proper' commercially viable new Amiga hits the streets!
