Old friend...
« on: September 13, 2004, 06:57:58 AM »

Hi all Amiga lovers...=)

Sooo good to see some Amiga activity on the net.I was 'sold' from the first moment i got my first Amiga (A1000) back in late 1984,i don't want to remember how much i paid,but all my friend bought cars,so it was not cheap.But it was all worth it.The raytraced cat blew me away.I remember looking at it,thinking,i'd like to see a pc do that,costing the same as an amiga.You couldn't even get a harddrive(20mb) at that price..LOL...Well i could keep on rambling forever.....I'd better get back to WinUAE....OK!!,so the pc is good for something.....

Thanks

Yes,i'ts a long time ago,and thats just proof to me what an awesome machine the A1000 was back then...=)

I've been up all night,having a go at WinUAE.I must say some of the old knowledge has gone hiding....but old habits die hard....I could always search,but as all nerds,i am lazy by nature.....Do u know of a good step by step guide to WinUAE....

hi,
welcome aboard...

Time to hookup the 1200 to the winuae machine with a serial cable?

But you`ll find that the latest Winuae is very robust, and cope very well with most `well written` programs..

... and some badly written ones ;-)

Welcome, WinUAE can do all kinds of neat stuff, like be used to replace the Windows front end, and use it as an Amiga to do everything :-)
