Are you new to the retro scene or have you been working with other retro computers?

Hi Persia,

I am new to the Amiga retro computer scene but have been into retro macs for the last few years. I am currently working on a Amiga 2000HD that I purchased on ebay and have owned an Amiga 1000 and 500 for years but just broke them out a month or so ago and was hooked again. I purchased Amiga Forever and have been playing around with Amiga Explore for a month or so using my laptop to trasfer adf files to my A1000 of my favorite games from the past. It was all so amazing to me that I went out and spent a ton of cash on my A2000HD and now I am really hooked!

After working with retro macs for so long I have to admit that my heart is with the Amiga. I love it!

Welcome to another new user.  Wow, two in the same week.  How long has it been since that happened before?

It is gratifying for us long time Amiga users to see that an old Mac user can appreciate and admit that the Amiga was a better computer.  Something we all have known for a long time.  It was specially evident for that short period of time when Macs were using the same CPUs as the higher end Amigas and we could run the MacOS7.5 faster and better emulated on our Amigas than it could be run on a real Mac with the same CPU!

It was great for a short time to run AmigaOS2.1, MacOS7.5 w/Emplant board, or via Shapeshifter, and Win3.1 through my Vortex 2386sx bridgeboard all on my A2000 w/030/33mhz and show off the Amiga's superiority over any other personal computer available at the time.  Then the Amiga management fckd-up and we were left behind in the huge wake created by those other systems trying to catch up and discredit the Amiga as only a "Game" machine.

Ahh, those were the good old days of the early 90's, too bad they were so short lived and C= management screwed us so quickly.

Well, I hope you stick around and enjoy it here.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I have to agree with you on every  point. I lived through those moments but at that time I could only afford the A500 but I loved every minute of it.

I guess now all we have left is one hell of a fun hobby that I must say has brought me (and obviously those here) so much joy. I told my better half today that I was going to sell all my macs to make room for AMIGA's, she gasped because she has a thing for my Mac 512k cause she thinks it's cute!! OMG! so I will have to keep that one.

I will be sticking around! Again thanks for the welcome:)

Xcalibur?!

I have to say I don't. To be honest I'm not even sure what that is. Feel free to school me:) I love learning about things I don't have.
