Holy thread resurrection.

The only one I've met in person is "thebilgerat" over a few trades but he's a genuinely nice guy

I've met no one. The guy i bought my MOS mac mini from is on Amigaworld.net everyday but is not a member. The closest to me are Cammy and RebelCD32. Also there are a few in Sydney which is close but i never go South. I only ever go North (to follow the waves depending on how good they are).
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

Two guys I work with reckon they were active years ago, spatta and ebatti. Steve has his a1000 and cd32 mothballed (with sx1 expansion) and emil threw his a600 complete with apollo 030 in the bin 'cause it wouldn't boot! Could have done with that as mine is RS, again.
I've chatted with Cammy on eab and on IRC!
Haven't come across anyone here in Newcastle.

Actually, Derek, it was you, me, MelbourneBen and MickJT.  Epsilon couldn't make it, but hopefully he will next time.

And I actually met djos about 2 weeks ago, a week and a half before I found out that he's djos, while we were waiting for the bus outside work.

Turns out me, djos and MelbourneBen all work for the same company.

So what kind of Amiga's will the Adelaide user group have? Anything exotic?
