Hi sorry to hear you were homeless hope you are sorted now all the best to you:)
Hi there,
That's very kind of you! Yes I'm certainly OK now, happily mortgaged up to the hilt and married ;P. I left home at 15 and it was a tough time for a while. A lot of my things like magazines and old computers (my beloved Atari 800XL!) were left behind and thrown out before I could arrange to find somewhere to store them.
These days I love just messing about with anything Amiga - WinUAE mostly, but I also dabble with other OS's (I have an Intel Mac Mini too) and also AROS stuff from time to time. In my loft, and probably no longer working (I haven't checked for maybe 7 years!) is an A1200 with Blizzard 1230 IV running at 30MHz and SCSI extender with an old Mac external CD-ROM 8x speed....blimey that was the BUSINESS when I bought it!
The magazines were great, for me, because of the mix between AREXX / programming / fun features / games reviews / cover discs-content to play with. PC Format and more modern PC magazines just don't seem to have the same decent balance. I followed Linux Format for a while, when Amiga Format ended. It was interesting to see Nick Vietch and some of the other journos move over and make a go of it, and it still feels a little "Amiga"ry in terms of layout and style.
But it's no replacement for the originals.
