Like the title says, Yep I am... I eat.. sleep.. drink... Technology and i grew up on the Commodore line of computers. 64...128...Amiga 500..600..1000..1200..2000.3000.. could not get enough. Over the years, lost most of my goodies in moving.. life.. but I'm getting back into the retro scene.. I just got my original Amiga 500 back from my nephew. Could not belive he still had it in storage.. I'm in love again. I'm a happy camper!!!! I just bought a founders edition of the revived Commodore 64 to help bring the Commodore brand back to life.. I can't wait to get it. I'm working to get an original 64, and do my hack and slash i did to it when I add back in the 6th grade 2 months after I got one fleet my birthday back in 1985!!! Can't wait. I'm back in the scene with all four feet..4 eyes.. and the pocket protector!! Lol. Thanks for reading a little about my nostalgia scene.. looking forward to more to come!
 
Welcome. I never saw an Amiga in anything other than magazines back in the day, but about 5 years ago I got hooked. Say goodbye to your pocketbook - always something new to buy. I recently ordered a Warp 560 & WarpedVision ECS for a brand new 500 I am building to bring some comfort features to the machine.

You will be amazed at what is available today. Really impressive what the community has achieved.
 
Welcome, won't be easy to get a large collection these days, but hey who knows.
Never had more than A500 back in the days, could only dream of an A1200 and more, when I came back after an hiatus between 2000 and 2009, I could get my hands on just about anything, took a while to get it all, but eventually I had the A1000 towards the A4000T.
Even got my hands or rare things like the DKB Kwikstart, one A1000 already had the DKB Insider, but to have both, that is a real treat
 
I could get my hands on just about anything
Yes, I remember those times. My late father had an a1200 in which he spent countless hours playing Birds of Prey, and Doom 3 on his PC :-). I personally didn't have any Amigas during that time, I was just too busy traveling. If only we could turn back time.
