new member saying hello

[smerf]

Hi,

Welcome to A.org, but you have the wrong name for this site this is for Amiga's only. The C64 branch is out in the out house, but we will welcome you and forgive you for your obnoxious name if you take your A4000 out of storage and give it to me.

Just found this forum last night.
Own several c=64 & 128's, A500, A4000, and a A3000 (in storage).
Everything was in storage for between 5 & 6 yrs after moving, so I'm just getting systems back up and running.
A4000/40 is attached to C-1950.

Any way, just saying hello

Hello and welcome back. I hope you've already removed the batteries from the A3000 and A4000 to protect against leakage. If not that's the first thing I'd do then upgrade everything ro 3.1 ROMS and install OS3.9.

Were you into games? Check out WHDLoad and register it for hard drive based games. Great program.

Hi there c64geezer

Sounds like you could be English - since geezers tend to live in London??!!!!

Welcome to AmigaOrg.

I have four Amigas (unfortunately only two working at the moment) and also a 1000 lurking under my desk, which I must get working one of these days.  I also have a "spare" 1200 - without even a hard drive in it!!!! - and a spare 500+ complete with hard drive.

I tend to be doing stuff I "have" to do these days, not what I "want" to do.  My favourite thing on the Amiga is messing about with DPaint and changing pictures by picking up brushes and moving things around.  I have found another interest in the last few days however - playing around with fonts in TypeSmith.  I've nicked some of my son's TrueType fonts off his Gates Crate and converted them to .pfb's.  I then found the position of the characters differed between the two machines, so I set about finding out more about how to use TypeSmith to cut and paste and also about kerning.  Fascinating stuff.

Tell us some more about where you live and what you do with your Amigas

Regards Kathy (called Yesnaby after my favourite place!!!)

Sorry, been busy.
I live in Southcentral Idaho
I just got the A4000 unpacked last week (the 3000 is in storage). About the only games I play(ed) is/are older ones: Lemmings, Basketball, Football, and a couple other oldies.
Primarily, the computer was used for DTP with PageStream, Pro Write, Professional Page, and Final Writer.

Thanks for the info about the battery. I will do that promptly. I didn't know about that. Been off the Amiga scene for too long

Also, the 4000 has MacLink and Emplant with assorted hardware   Been awhile.

The user name is a carry over from other forums and is easier for me to remember than learning a new one. Besides, without the c=64/128 what would we be using??      
(I hope that doesn't get me in trouble)

Right now, I'm trying to get a printer working with the 4000, but thats for another area/posting.

Thanks again all of you for the welcome.
