Hello from England!
« on: January 28, 2009, 07:59:37 PM »
So... after a pretty disastrous start in the wonderful world of Amiga (not only was my first Amiga half-dead, but I managed to kill the other half, two floppy drives, and my reputation on some Amiga IRC channel somewhere ("You killed Gary! You're the grim reaper of A500+s! Go play CoD4 or something"), I've finally managed to get a nicely working Amiga 500+.

So... yeah. I'm Matt, or hayashi (one of several thousand nicknames I tend to go by, I think I was NiMa91 in the aforementioned IRC suicide), and my love of old computer software and hardware has caused me to become an Amiga fan. I'm 17, and presently I've got an Amiga 500+ with no accelerators or modifications (though I'm currently hoping to get a hard drive)

Picture (could do with a clean D:)

I'm also into music, especially synthpop and hoping that I can at some point put my Amiga to use making some. I suck at tracking at the moment, though.

Oh... and while I'm here... a question. Does anyone know any way I could transfer DPaint files to a PC? I love DPaint, and I'd like to be able to use the stuff I make in it outside the Amiga, but apparently you have to jump through hoops to do it :/ (Oh... and printers. Is there any way to use relatively modern parallel-port printers with the old girl?)
