My first experience was with an A1200 with Microbotics 1230XA and an external 58k modem that never worked faster than 9600 baud. Was fun, just dialing the phonenumber and log in, piece of cake, just a bit very slow :boohoo:
Then came civilisation and I got an A1200 in a plastic Infinitiv tower with Xsurf and a whopping Blizzard 1230/4. We finally got broadband in our small village and I desperately wanted that :lol: The guy from the internet company came to install the hardware, cable modem and 15m of ethernet cable, but when it came to install the software it suddenly became a bit more complicated 8-) Eh, no Windows :getmad: No MacOS :getmad: Eh, time to call the callcenter :idea: Okay, I have an Amiga 1200 and want to have the necessary information to get on the internet with Miami Deluxe or Genesis. Eh ... Amiga
No Windows installed
Oops :lol: "Boss !!!!" ... Boss came on the line, explained the same thing, got a long period of confusing silence and finally he decided to call the bigger boss :lol: Got him on the phone and explained the whole thing again for the fourth time. After another moment of silence I got the annoying answer "Sorry but we are not allowed to give support to eh, Amiga computers" :madashell:
Great service :madashell:
Lucky for me a friend gave me the phonenumber of another Amiga freak on the other side of the country that had an A4000 with ethernet card that was able to supply me the info I needed to go online ... and the rest was a new world that opened to me :-)
