Bonjour !

[Alchemist]

Hello everyone!

I've known this forum for a while but never registered... until a few days ago obviously

I'm quite fond of retro computing -- I still own my first computer, an Amstrad CPC6128 which is still working perfectly -- amazing how robust these old hardware are. Later on I got an Amstrad PC2286 (what a huge upgrade!) and had PCs ever since. This being said I also had childhood friends with STs and Amigas so I'm quite open to other architectures ;-)

Recently I rebuilt an old PC of mine and started playing classics again, like for example the first Dune. Great memories coming alive again!

Bienvenue, Alchemist!
I'm also new on here so I share your passion of the retro machines from the Eighties - what a decade for micros and music!
Hey, I know the Amstrad was super popular with you in France but surely the ORIC ruled supreme?
I'm an Oric fan so if you - or any of your friends - wanted to talk/trade Oric .... on y va!
Merci et bon chance ici, Alchemist.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Unfortunately I do not know anyone owning an ORIC but I'd like to see one someday! Like you said, the Amstrad was especially popular around here, not much competition until the Amiga & ST came to French market.

what a decade for micros and music!

80s ruled!

Cheers,

Alchemist
