New Recruit to the Amiga Ranks

[jj]

Welcome.  Never owned a big box Amiga myself.   Towered A1200 but that another story.
 
There are a lot of nice friendly people around here.  You will never leave, even if you stop using Amigas

Welcome!

The A2000 was the first Amiga I ever worked on, the first real computer we owned (after an Atari 600XL ) and the machine I learned almost everything computer-related on.

The RAM chips on the A2091 are not too hard to find, ask around here... (it takes up to 2Mb).

Have fun!

You know, there really is something appealing to working on an older system like this. When my wife asked me why I was worrying about fixing it up, especially when considering the prices of some components these days, I told her it was equivalent to working on an old car. Sure my new computer has some cool tricks, but the Amiga has style.

I told her it was equivalent to working on an old car.

..but crashing an Amiga is much safer!

:roflmao:

So true! But I would still be equally heart broken.

welcome to the amiga - a very good computerchoice! maybe you will also take a look at the new amigas like the sam-boards, amigaos4.1 and maybe even morphos and aros are worth a look. have fun.

i took a look at your a2000 on your internetpage. damn, that cool thing is in a really good condition! looks like only 1 or 2 years old! i would give you my old amiga-techno mouse if you would live in germany but i think,  its a bit to expensive to send them to the usa. any idea of the costs?

Welcome Alfred! owning an Amiga for the first time, I envy you!

Wow that is really a sweet find, I'm jealous, and welcome aboard. The Amiga is only the best computer in the world, and the A2000 is touted by many as the Top Amiga Model. Certainly is durable anyway. :-)

I don't know, with the way shipping costs keep going up it might be cheaper for me to buy it a passenger ticket on an airplane! :roflmao:

Thanks for the offer MaximvsPayne. Really kind of you.

Wow, really? I can't believe I lucked out first time. You guys are just making me search harder and harder for a keyboard/mouse you know that right? :razz:

Don't be, crashes, aka Guru meditations, are part of the experience.  Remember this is what life was like back in the early '90s.  Enjoy.

I love the comment about messing around with an old Amiga is like tinkering with a classic car - I couldn't agree more actually!

I love all the weird and wonderful accelerator cards and expansion pieces - makes it all so interesting and potentially endless!

I always wanted a A2000 as a kid

You can get an amiga mouse pretty cheap from amigakit.com, or just check the sales forum on here, and Im sure someone can hook you up
