Hi everybody.
I started in 1980 with Mattel Intellivision (still have it) and then upgraded to C64 in 1983. Did lots of hacking, cracking and programming with it until I bought an second hand Amiga 500 while on holiday trip in Copenhagen in 1988. Only had about a year with it until I moved abroads to study (computer science and programming), gave the Amiga to my little brother. Then dozens of PC-builds, several dozens of Macs, RPi's, consol and Amiga emulations etc. Even tried MorphOS at one point (considering it again). I still own maybe 10 PCs and 30 vintage Macs and some of them I run frequently.
And few years ago I again got myself a C64 and all the cool upgrades. Lots of hw problems even though the C64 was bought from a shop selling recapped and tested Commodores. Had to do loads of diagnostics and repairs until I got it running. Live and learn.
Then couple of years ago I found myself an Amiga 600 which I am now starting to put together and trying to remember how everything works. Loads of new stuff has appeared since I was using one so lots to learn and try.
Happy to be here and read all the stuff people before me have done and experienced. The forums are a great resource for a noob like me. Thanks!
