I have been a member here for some time but I guess I forgot to introduce myself back then or maybe that part on this site wasn't available when I became a member here ..
Anyway ... I guess it is never to late to introduce yourself
I'm from a southern suburb of Stockholm, Sweden.
Grew up around 8-bit video game consoles and computers, my first computer was a Vic64 back in 1986 that I mostly used for gaming. It was later replaced by a C64C with a floppy drive.
Around 1990 I got an Amiga 500 (rev 6) with kickrom 1.3 that became the my main gaming computer. I have found memories of that period, my cousin had some friends who where in the Amiga demo scene and he got me games thru them. In 1994 I sold off my Amiga and didn't own any computer until around 1999.
The Amiga bug bit me again in around 2001 and I bought an Amiga 600 from a collegue at work and of course I bought me some games for it
After a year or two I had figured out there was a thriving Amiga community so I joined some Amiga forums like Amiga.org, EAB and thru the Amiga community I found out alot about the newer Amiga hardware and accessories that had been produced was was being produced. This ended up me buying more Amiga models and hardware because I was curious about what you could do with it. I ended up owning every Amiga model except the A3000T, towerized several A1200/A4000 computers in Elbox, Micronik and Gift towers with Mediator PCI, G-Rex PCI, Blizzard/Cyberstorm PPC etc etc ... tried OS4 Classic, MorphOS. I even had a towerized A500 i a special Micronik tower made for the A500! It was weird times with alot of vapor ware rumours and the talks about poeple still wondering what happened to their CS PPC/Blizzard PPC cards they sent to DCE for repair.
I feel like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner when I think back on this period ... “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe....."
Well, around 2008-2009 I sold off most of my high spec Amigas and exotic hardware and accessories.
I kept some goodies like an A4000T, A4000D, a couple of A1200, a CD32 and some A500's
Nowdays I only enjoy pure 68K power goodness on my Amiga machines and mostly do gaming on them.
