Hi
Been lurking this forum for quite a while and created my account back in 2013 to be able to see pictures in forums. Now i am writing this as i intend to create my first selling posts.
I am a 38 yo Unix/Linux system administrator from Sweden. Got my first glance at the amiga in the late 80s, and was pretty much hooked.
Would take well into the 90s before i got my first own amiga, that was an used a500.
From that to current date: an a500, an a2000, a couple of a1200s, an a3000 and an a4000.
For myself I've traversed in coding, hardware (building/repair), graphics and what not... I guess most of all i found the interest in the system itself.
I was always thinking that i would work with amigas. But in the 2000s i gave up on that idea as it was so obvious that the platform was dying. So i changed to Unix... Who would have thought that those behemoths was also on the same route. Although the transition to linux was not as painful. One day i was just working with linux alone. Although now i am also having a couple of OpenBSD and FreeBSD installations. But its not really the same as a computer consisting of several full racks at your hands (even if a small PCs of today is more powerful). Would take a couple of years from 2000 before i got back to the amiga, now on a more of a side hobby basis, started to build a collection and well, most of you probably know how it is :roll:
When i get away from the computer(s) i tend to find myself in nature pondering about the meaning of the number 42.
