Amiga from Down Under
« on: September 01, 2025, 02:02:30 AM »
Hi,

Long long time Amiga fan, was using friends A500's before I finally got my own (A500 Plus) one Xmas.
Long story short, ran a successful BBS for a number of years in Auckland, NZ, upgraded the 500+ to 2MB Chip, 4MB Fast, EC030 (GVPA530) with 120MB SCSI HDD and an external CD ROM (NEC CDR25).

Did anything and everything with that system. Gaming was a big thing, but loved the comms side of things (BBS's, Internet), and LOVED modules :) Hence why I now stream 24/7 modules/remixes :D

Don't own a real Amiga any more, but looking to get one of those A1200 full size units on release.

Anyway, feel free to ask stuff... I can only ignore you ;)

Are you on the North Island or the South Island?

I'm just north of Auckland, so North Island.

Live on a peninsula, so surrounded by water -  have a fantastic beach 2 mins walk away :)

     That's nice!  I go over to Wellington every 3 to 4 years.
