Hi Everyone!

[Darklight]

Hi All.  I've been hanging around here, reading posts etc for the last while but only just got around to joining.  

I'm a long time Commodore user - first comp was a Commodore 64 (although I can't really remember it...I was born in 84, lol) which we sold to get an A500 which we've had ever since (and it's still going like the day we got it).  I recently picked up an A600 with 1084s and WB disks for $10AUD a couple of weeks ago, and the prospect of being able to install all my old OCS games onto the HD with WHDload or something similar got me interested in Amiga again.  I've installed a Seagate 2gb HD into it, and I'm really loving it all over again.  
Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself, and I'll be seeing you around.  :-)

Welcome Darklight,
I hope you enjoy your stay :-)

:pint:

[Darklight]

Thanks Cyberus, I will.

Currently I'm keeping an eye out for an A1200.  The A600 got me into the scene again, but there's only so much you can do with it, and it'd be great to play all those AGA games I never got to, lol.

Hey darklight! and welcome.

if it is an A1200 you are after then you are in luck. They can still be bought new from verious shops on the internet (damn I'm not that good at spelling)  :lol:

"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."

:lol::lol:

Ah man, that quote has brightened my day!!!

[Darklight]

Thanks for that nex4060.

I'll check it out and see if I can find anywhere with A1200's in stock.  The problem is going to be trying to find one in Australia... :-o Stock A1200's go for shockingly high prices over here, as the only source most people can find them is ebay.  If I can get a new one from overseas, that'd be great.
Anywhere you would recommend looking?

Thanks

[Darklight]

LOL, hehehe, I had this sig as my name on MSN Messenger for a while.....you'd be surprised how often I got asked that question  :-D

[Holley]

Anyway, welcome ... a wanted should help find one (it's really www.Amibench.com BTW), and it shouldn't be too expensive on shipping provided you're patient and get the sender to pack it more carefully for surface mail :-D.

I know a couple of guys that run Aussie cars, I could go ask if they have any suggestions that might help :-)
