Another returning to an old friend
« on: July 27, 2004, 06:04:38 PM »
Hi all

I started in 1988 with a A500 1meg ram an extra floppy and a 1084 followed over the next 6 years a A2000 A1000 A1200 and a A4000. Like a dummy I sold everything after Commodore folded..

To this day I've never had as much fun with any other computer system the PC does too many things for you now a days and the Mac... forget it.. I'm going back to where the fun is, Just bought a A2000 off Ebay and started rebuilding my Amiga system..

Welcome aboard.. I second what Red & x56h34 said...


One thing, if you ever get asked if you're red or blue, run.. run as fast as you can.. ;-)

I have colected some movies of OS4/A1 on my web-site.
It`s in Norwegian but you shoud be able to find the links.
A bit long adress: http://mscon.net/amiga/mitt/hjemmeside/Diverse-Amiga.htm

The last link shows an example where amiga beats any other platform, at least at one point.
Wel you see no comaring but I was told so by someone in this forum.

Anyway, glad to have another Amigaman back:)

Hi, only Amiga I sold was a (very battered) A2000, and I've regretted it too :-( good luck with it, and welcome :-)

Welcome back to the fold, you'll never regret it.  Got an A2000 myself, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Help is here, all you've got to do is ask.  Best regards....Art

I'm going back to where the fun is


Welcome back home! A little "thing" remains in the mind of every amigan who left that great and fun computer, telling him: "Come back, come back, come back.....", until he does! ;¬)

Of course, this sensation is greatly amplified after some time using a PC, he, he...  :-D :-D

Saluditos,

Welcome back.

I too got totally tired of my PC (or Windows that is) and traded it for an Amiga, although I have never left Amiga.

Welcome again.
