Well I've been posting a bit but I haven't made any effort to introduce myself, really :-) So here I go!
I'm Failure. Most people think that name denotes high self-esteem, but that's where you're wrong! It's the name of a band I really liked before they uh...failed. Before that, we're talking a long time ago, I was Commodore Demon or just CD.
I used a C=64 from 1986 to 1994 and I pretty much blame that thing for where I am today: IT. In the 90's I started to want to upgrade, but not being old enough to have a job and Amigas being so expensive...this upgrade didn't take place until 1994 when I *was* old enough to have a job. So I worked all summer. I placed an order for an A1200 with 8MB, and a 400MB HD from a Canadian company willing to ship to an APO address (stationed in Saudi Arabia at the time). I forget the name, but they accidentally shipped the machine reserved for me to someone else. A couple weeks later, Commodore went bankrupt. Six months(!) later of waiting for backorder, I canceled my order and bought a Pentium 66 :-/
Fast forward to today. I recently obtained a 3000UX from a fellow A.org member (hi Jamie!), so I went on eBay and bought another A3000 because it was cheaper than a Catweasel. Then I decided that now was the time to fulfill my dream of having a souped up Amiga. So I bought a CSPPC and two NICs (which aren't here yet).
So that's about it. Basically I play with AMIX the most, since that's an environment I'm familiar with. I am getting used to AmigaOS again. I'm a Linux SE at my job, so naturally I am very interested in Linux on the Amiga as well.
Nice to meet you all, having a good time so far :-)
