Another returns.
« on: July 04, 2010, 01:22:43 PM »
Hi All
  Just a quick introduction. I have come back to the Amiga world after an 18 yr absence. I have had a Vic, 64, 128D, A500 and a A2000 with a Toaster. I got involved with the Amiga while I was in the USAF stationed in Bitburg, Germany. As a second weekend job I was a Sales Rep for Commodore AAFES for a year and the President of the Bitburg Commodore Users Group for 3 years.

I returned to the states and found virtually no Amiga support and ended up selling my Amiga and going PC simply for availability of hardware and software.

I have recently found myself curious about Amiga Emulation so I bought Amiga Forever 2010. It is slowly coming back to me but still have a lot to relearn.  

This is a great forum! I wish this forum would have been around in 1992, I might have kept the 2000.

Welcome aboard :)



Well, the web as we know it didn't really exist back then, so that would have been tricky. BBS, all the way :)


Now that you mention that you are right. I only knew of 1 bbs for the Amiga back then and it was all porn pics. I really wish I had kept the 2000. I must have been insane at the time...:insane:

You could always start again with a top of the line NOS 4000T! http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=catalog/hardware/amiga/a4000t.html&cart_id=3157828_17339


If i only had a spare 1200 hangin out.... I have a collection of PC's here. An old TI 99-4A, a G4 Power cube, and 4 other PC's in the X86/64 variety. I didn't hold on to any of the Commodore's cause i sold them to buy new Commodore's with the exception of the 2000.

I will be looking in the future to get another Amiga but it has to be a lot less than that. One day i will be looking and will find it but for now WinUAE is going to have to do. I am dedicating a Toshiba laptop for this so we will see how it works out. Then i can take my "Amiga" with me.

Welcome back! If you dedicate your laptop to just WinUAE I would recomend you to try AROS :)


I will look into that but just for conversation's sake what is the advantage to it? I checked out the site and am downloading the Live version as I can boot from DVD to have a look at it. I am currently running the AmiKit and so far so good. Only issue i am having is with sound being garbled at times. This is a WinUAE issue i think but. I haven't dug into it too much yet. Thanks for a warm welcome here! I really love this site and I am trying to soak it all up. Ok all, belly up to the bar! :drink:
