Hi Zorro, if (you're from Mexico)  then write (Hey compadre!!!) hehe.. I'm from Mexico :-)

Well, my still-on-going adventure with Amiga began with a Commodore64 my mom bought me when I was 13. I started programming in Basic and learned some C64 assembler but never went deep enough on it. I had the brown C64 and a datassete tape unit, it was fun. Then I was offered a C128 with a 1571 disk drive and tons of games and software so I sold the C64 and bought the 128, anyway most of the things I ran in the 128 were for C64 hehe. The 128 had some compatibility problems, the 1571 could not load games converted to "vorpal" and that annoyed me, so I sold it and bought a brand new C64-C with a white 1541 drive and all my compatibility problems were thing of the past. Then I met some friends at a computer store who also had C64, we became very good friends and shared programs, games, etc among us. One of them (Oscar) suddenly bought an Amiga 500, so he invited us one day to his house and we saw his A500 in action, I was amazed! The first game I saw on it was "Plutos", then "Xenon" and even the first game I played on my friend's A500 was "Test Drive".. gold old TD. My other C64 friends started to buy A500 too but I couldn't afford it immediately, so I had to wait about a yr. to sell my C64 and get my first A500. After that I got an A500 which could do PAL, then I sold the old A500 and my friend Oscar brought me an A1200 when he went to L.A. in the USA. That 1200 is now inside my Power Tower with a BlizzardPPC 603e+ (603/240, 060/50, 128 MB RAM, BVisionPPC, Plextor 40X SCSI cdrom, Yamaha8824S cdrw, ZIV busboard, HighwayUSB, Xsurf ethernet, Var I/O, scandex external scandoubler, external A4000 keyboard, PowerFlyer EIDE, 60 GB HD space (IDE), etc... it's a bit far from what it was when I bought it :-).

So, there's my story.. I haven't had any other computer than those listed above, no PC, no Mac, no anything else! :-)

Now I administer UNIX and Oracle databases to eat hehe

Best regards to all amigans outhere!!!
