@ K7HTH

The parts of the OS and the applications necessary for me to do MIDI sequencing and multitrack recording are working adequately for my purposes.  I guess I have OS4 Pre-release with Update #4 applied, I think the Beta is the latest version that is being now tested.

I see I'm not the oldest, but not far off
I'm 64 and have been using Amigas since mid 80's when they first came out, mainly in TV industry.
Still have 500+, a 1200, and a 4000 with Opalvision.
(plus a quadzillion disks)

I'm only 59. I see at least other poster has used a TI 99/4A. I've been using an Amiga since 1987. I have an A1200 that I bought new in 1992 (one of the first delivered to this area) and it is still running fine, if somewhat modified now.
We still have one active Amiga user group close, in Washington D.C. (NCAUG) that meets every month!!
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

Ahhh.. it's comforting to see more older people here.

I always feel so old, thinking "I remember the first time I saw colour television", "I remember when the VCR came out", "I remember when Al Gore invented the internet.."

You guys in your 60's can say "I remember when WW II ended", "I remember when television got popular", "I remember when men were men and women were nervous"  ;-)

That's not a lack of literacy, it's shorthand from all the kids using cell phones to text message each other. :lol:
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
