New to Amiga
« on: September 18, 2008, 03:02:32 AM »
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!

Rev 6.2 A2000
GVP Combo 030 33mhz PLCC version w/ 4mb OC to 36mhz
8UP! DIP w/ 2mb
Commodore Mem. expansion w/ 2mb
Buddha IDE controller w/ CDRW and 4gb HD
Workbench 3.9

I tried WHDload, but i'm not that great at the CLI yet. I just figured out how scripts work, so i'll give it a shot. (typing EXECUTE always makes me grin a little)

Forgive my ignorance but.. what is "urban infiltration"?!?


It's a combination of art, lifestyle, history, philosophy, and evading the authorities.

Example, this guy does it for a living:
