I'm 24 and remember hearing about all these machines growing up, played with a couple, but could never afford them. I first got into retrocomputing when I picked up an old IBM XT clone with an 8088 and Hercules graphics back in 1994. (curbside special). I had to learn DOS, but it got me through till about 1998!
Anyways, I first picked up an Atari 1040st with bad ram just to fool around ~1yr ago, and that really got me into wanting an Amiga to compare. I picked up an A2000 and never looked back. (That Atari never did get completely fixed :-D )
About me, i'm married, a nursing student with about 6 years of experience in psychiatry. Ive got a growing collection of old equipment (A Kaypro, IIgs, 8 Bit Ataris, C128, C64, Tandy CoCo to name a few) and enjoy restoring them. Also enjoy Urban Infiltratration/Photography, any other Infiltrators out there?
I'm glad to be a new member of the community.
I'm slowly, but surely building up my new Amiga, i've learned upgrades are expensive!
