Back after nearly 20 years
« on: November 29, 2006, 03:04:23 AM »
Hi, everyone -- I guess it's time for an introduction.  I became an Amiga owner way back in 1986, when I got my A1000.   After a while, I became involved in other things and didn't have the time for it, so I sold it to a friend.  I still count it as the best computer I've ever owned.  

Just a month or so ago, I happened upon an A500 that was being given away, and I jumped at the chance to own an Amiga again.  I needed to find a monitor, started hunting around the 'net, and found amiga.org and some other sites.  Long story short, I've gotten the "bug" again, and just today a new-to-me A3000 was delivered to my door.  It needs a bit of work (watch for my upcoming posts  :-) ), but to me that's part of the fun, bringing good old hardware back to life.  I'm going to have a lot of fun.  :-D

My ever-understanding wife says this is all OK with her...a project Amiga is cheaper than a project car. :lol:

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.  I've been learning a lot reading the forums, including how to clean up the damage caused by battery leakage.  Thanks to that, and a quick fix to the power supply, my A3000 is now up and running happily.   :hammer:  :-D
