G'day all!

Howdy

I joined a few days ago and in a big hurry to solve a A3000 floppy problem.  As a result I completely missed this intro area.  I have been an Amiga user since 1991, when I brought an A1000 secondhand after seeing a mate of mine with an A500 playing Cinemaware's Wings.  After that I had to have one.  I traded the A1000 for an A500, because it was easier and cheaper to expand.  I hacked the A500 up to a full ECS chipset with 2MB Chip Ram and 6MB Fast, with Kickstart changer and built a SCSI interface for it in order to get a HDD on it cheap.

Since then I have purchased a CD32-SX1 and an A1200.  The 1200 has a Blizzard MKIV 68030/50 and SCSI int. with 64MB Ram.  I have also been given over previous years, another A500, which I had to use to repair mine, 2xA2000's an A600 and the insides of an A3000.  The A3000 I am building in to a tower ATM and is the whole reason I found his thriving little Amiga community which looks like loads of fun to hang out in.

I have been a little lazy on the Amiga's over the last few years because I did a programing course and had to battle with Windows.  I now teach Networking/Hardware related subjects at the very college I did my Diploma at, so windows crap rules my life currently as the subjects I teach are kinda low level and Linux is to difficult for the likes of my students (and I'm not real well versed on it myself hope to change that soon).

Should see me around plenty...

later all..

Now now, Windows isn't that bad :-P


@Azryl

There seems to have been a mojor influx of Australian users as of late, when I first joined, there was maybe two or three regular posters, so yes, the more the better, perhaps every Aussie member should put something like this in their sigs:

"Aussies...The more the better :-D"

What do you think? :-)

@ melange

Ah, another Aussie Amiga user, and one from Brisbane this time  :-) Beats more Melbournians, although now I'm right in the middle  :-P Glad to hear another one with experience join the forums though  :-D

@ adz

Sounds good, or maybe we could have a signature image?  Does this forum support signature images?  If so I'd photoshop (I know, I'm not competent enough with deluxepaint) up an Aussie Amiga signature.

Yeah, so long as the image is hosted on another site and isn't too large, might be an idea to run it past Wayne first.

[Darklight]

Well, can't say I've seen anyone with signature images, but we may have a use for this at some point anyway - what do you think? :-D Probably a bit too large, but as I said, I might use it for something else at another point.

[adz]

You've never seen a user with a signature image?

As for the image, tis a good start, could you make it just a little bigger :-P Don't want anybody confusing us with New Zealand users :lol:

Not many, personally, I don't feel like selling a kidney in order to pay for one :-D

On a serious note, I'd buy one if I had a use for it, but right now, it would just be another machine to add to the already excessive/obsessive pile.
