Adorable :)
Great to see, and actually one of the reasons I still have an Amiga and SNES. When I have children I don't want them to go without, but I'm also not having them browsing the internet or playing modern games like COD until they're at least young adults. With an old computer without net access they can be creative and learn computing, while still being safe.
Yeah I agree. And my daughter did ask if she can do video chat with her friend. When I said not really as the Amiga didnt have wifi and wasnt able to even go on the Internet she looked a little puzzled and said, 'but how does it work without wifi?' I explained giving reference to 'when I wer a lad' somewhere. She found it funny :-)Quote:

hopefully i can salvage something before it's too late ;)
I gave my son (3) an Amstrad CPC6128 to play with, but it still didn't get him away from my scope. I'll have to try an Amiga, otherwise I'll get nothing fixed :D

Ali-b, give it a try, my son plays all sorts, tablet, phone, 3ds, vita, ps3... And still goes to his amiga for a go on Zool, superfrog, chips challenge etc. He likes playing P.c.genjin on my pc engine too.
Bryce, haha, thats great! Must be the funky sine wave he enjoys looking at and manipulating with the twiddly knobs :-) but thats fantastic that he prefers the tools :-)
The device on top is an old function generator. He can already set it up to display a sine wave on the scope and then plays with the horizontal, vertical scales and the frequency as "his game". He spends hours at it if I let him.

Like father, like son :-)
A synthesizer freak in the making! ;D
His favorite in sine wave, then triangular. He's not a big fan of square waves :DQuote:
