Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!

Hi retro-friends!

Just wanted to briefly introduce myself before I go trawling on your forum for deals

As a North American, I grew up with mainly PCs and the occasional Mac. I've been collecting semi-vintage Macs (mid to late 90s Power Macs, mostly), but have become super interested in the Amiga lately, after reading "The Future Was Here", despite never using them in their day. I'm most interested in the Amiga 3000 - to me it seems to embody the original Amiga spirit while still having enough creature comforts to make it a "modern" workstation - I'm particularly a big fan of its VGA port . I did buy one a couple of years ago off eBay, but the whole thing went quite pear-shaped icard (long story, the tl;dr is undisclosed leaky battery + botched repair job). To be honest that's what brought me here - I can't find another one anywhere and was hoping to pick one up.

Cheers,
Adam

Welcome fellow Seattleite! A buddy of mine has just started a Seattle Commodore Computer Club you might be interested in checking out: http://www.sea-ccc.org. Next meeting is mid-June. PM me if you're interested in checking it out!

Hello from another PNW Amigan. I am in the Edmonds, WA area just north of Seattle. I have a lot of classic Amiga systems and some Commodore 64 stuff as well. Good to hear from you all.

And I am in Issaquah - I just emailed Eric and plan to come to the June meetings (Fremont and LCM)

Cool! We hope to have some classic Amigas (and maybe an Atari ST) up and running at the meeting. Should be fun!
