Greetings from Melbourne
« on: December 25, 2012, 11:51:47 AM »
Hi All,

I have been looking at the forum for quite some time now  but since I bought an Amiga 500 last week I thought it was about time to  register and stop being a stalker.

I never had an Amiga in my  teenage years but I did have a PC (and a NES) and I started programming  early, like graphical programming. I really enjoyed watching demos  because it was so amazing what those people could do! I managed to  program some demo effects myself and I hope I will be able to do this on  the Amiga as well.

There are some questions I have about my 500  regarding how to expanding it and such (and one error related) but I guess that is questions for  another forum.

Funny that, seems to be a lot of Amiga users on here from Australia.  BTW, I realize you just bought an A500, but check out the one this other guy down your way is selling, if you haven't seen the thread already:

Oh, and welcome!  :)

Welcome!

Glad a few extra Victorian's are on here now, thought SA, Adelaide would ruin it :)

Keep up the fun times with your Amiga, let us know if you need any assistance regarding commodore stuff

Nice to see some comments in my introduction thread. I don't feel unwelcome anymore;)

Yeah, that A500+ is pretty awesome! My A500 is very standard. The only extra I have is a RAM expansion and an external floppy drive. Unfortunately, I do not have any WB floppies yet=(

Out of curiosity, how many here are from Melbourne? Would be great to have a support group here=)

Howdy and welcome.
Not quite Melbourne here, but near enough (Ballarat). Lived in Melb. most of my life, just not anymore.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
