A belated hello
« on: March 25, 2008, 11:56:08 AM »
Extremely rude of me to have left it so long to introduce myself...

Started out on the 64 way back when a 1200/75 bps modem was lightning fast ( a cartridge modem no less!) and using Viatel was cool ( a Teletex like service in Australia)

Moved on to the A500 and ran an Amiga BBS, learnt to code using Lattice C and then moved on to the beautiful A1200 .
Packed it all up in '96 and only recently set  up the 1200 again, now I'm hooked all over again!

Nice to see so many others share my obsession!

Hi Amithony!

I'd love to get my hands on a 4000...  Half your luck!
The BBS was called Sollaris, closed it down when I got a letter from the Telco (Telstra) telling me they were going to charge me business rates!      

Even over the relatively short time I've resurrected the 1200 I reckon there has been an increase of activity on Ebay so hopefully that means there are more people like us out there!
