My Amiga 1200 surfs the net
« on: September 13, 2010, 10:56:20 PM »
Hi to all ,a few months ago i had never heard of the Amiga let alone used one ,so when i was given the Amiga 1200 in exchange for one of my hard drives ,i had no clue as how i was going to use it,untii i came on to this wonderful forum ,and so many kind folk gave help freely ,and i was eager to learn, and knew i was going to find it hard ,and it really must have been my lucky day ,because  along comes this guy who i did not know, and said i can teach you every thing you need to know,and what i dont know, folk on this forum will help, and i jumped at the chance ,day after day,mistake after mistake on we went ,and if i got it wrong ,his words were,we start again, and we did ,untill he had taught me a basic knowledge of the Amiga ,and i am quite sure you know this Gentleman, whom i will be forever grateful too for the help he has given me ,it was my now dear friend Franko ,yes you my friend i thank you so much for all you have done,any ways i told Franko i wanted to go on the net,and he said he would help if he could,but he had not been on the net with his amiga,so first thing i did was ring o2 my internet provider,who gave me all i needed,to get on the net, they were brilliant and very eager once they knew that i intended to get the old Amiga on line, so on i went weeks passed ,and still no internet i must have input ever number known to mankind ,Franko said if you ever get on line that i could help him when he goes on lol in desperation i went back to o2 and this brilliant guy gave me some more numbers,and i input them ,and within a instant, my Amiga was downloading and surfing the net like a pro, oh boy was i thrilled ,and she surfs real well,im using ibrowser 2.4 which seems ok and works very well,i have 32 mbs of ram,and this could be a long night,because im off to surf the net now lol my thanks to all and a special thanks to my friend Franko who is a star  ,and thanks to o2 for doing there bit ,very best wishes Brian:):):):):):)

It's been most enjoyable helping you out MrMoonlight. It's been really refreshing to find someone who is totally new to the Amiga and who has so much enthusiasm about the wonders of the Amiga. :)
 
I reckon by your enthusiasm and willingness you have shown for learning about the Amiga, you can look forward to many years of pleasure this machine will bring you. :)
 
I have to say your a very pleasant and patient man, as 16+ hours talking on the phone with me & my broad scottish accent can't have been easy. I reckon we could have solved your problems in half the time if subtitles were available via the phone... :roflmao:
 
Good luck with your new Amiga and don't give up when you get stuck, myself and plenty of others here on Amiga.org will be only to glad to help you out. :)
  And you my friend have been a joy to work with,even love the scotish accent, lol and look forward to learning more from you ,you are indeed a great teacher ,and we will speak very soon ,take care my friend Brian:lol::lol::lol::lol:

That's excellent news. I hope to do the same with my A1200, but I currently have motherboard issues and a faulty accelerator to deal with. I *will* get on the net with the A1200 though - it just may take a while ;)

 HI my friend ,and yes it is excellent news ,and i am so excited and she surfs really well ,but my thanks have to go out to Franko who knew little about getting on the net ,but taught me so much on how to use the Amiga ,and helped me to install that many things i have lost count ,
how he put up with me god only knows,but he did ,and on we go ,i hope your dream of getting on the net with your 1200 Amiga comes true,
best wishes Brian:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Hey Brian, I'm glad you got your Amiga online. I am sorry that I didn't have time to reply to your private message before you ended up solving the problem with Franko's help, I am often overwhelmed with private messages on the Amiga forums and it can take me a while to reply to everyone sometimes. I hope you continue to learn the ins and outs of the Amiga Operating System and enjoy trying out all the brilliant online software we have. Don't forget to check out AmiTwitter, AmiMSN, AmiNetRadio, AmiGift, AmiTradeCentre, and Dynamite!
 
Thank you very much, Franko, for doing such a great job of helping out! It is indeed refreshing to see people without much previous Amiga experience taking a new interest in them, and we all have to do what we can to make them feel welcome and want to keep using their Amigas.
 
 Hi Cammy no need to say sorry to me  my friend i have not forgot how you helped me with my 3.1 workbench when i was compleatly lost, i was so lucky to drop on this  forum ,because before this one i was on another :lol:Amiga forum and as good as it was i could not understand a word i was being told,so had to say goodbye because it was all beyond me
and then this forum ,yourself and many more took the time to exsplane ,and then came Franko lol wow did he put some hours in with me ,untill i began to understand some of what he had taught me,he never once got annoyed when i got it wrong or deleated some thing we had worked on for hours , such a brilliant teacher ,infact he should teach Amiga to all who want to learn ,so very grateful to my Friend Franko ,
anyways my best wishes to you and i just have to go surf the net on my wonderful 1200 Amiga bye for now Brian,ps thanks for the tips of what to try out:lol::lol::lol::lol:
