introducing myself

[Hettle]

Hi
I've just registered - I got a whole load of Amiga stuff out of my attic yesterday as am about to have the roof re-done on the house. I'm amazed at how many fond memories it all brought back ......... but also amazed at my lack of memory!!! - age does that! I've got 2 amiga 1500s (used to be resident in the uk) one with a bridgeboard that I fitted myself - (I think both have extra ram also fitted by me way back when). There's all kinds of extra kit too but .................... shame on me, shame on me! I couldn't even remember where to plug in the mouse! Kind of worked it out and then going through some disks, luck was with me - I found the old tutorial disk "The Very First" - bunged it in the drive (then bunged it in the right drive) - Eureka! Loved it! - still ashamed at the lack of brain recall, though!

hi and welcome,
i'm glad you've found some good old Amiga magic

 

[arnljot]

Welcome to the bay! I hope you bear with us for today, as we're not at our best today. But everyone here are good at heart, and it's been given to the amiga a long time ago

 

[Hettle]

thanks a lot to you all!

You speak for yourself John - I use my equipment pretty regular

Hi Hettle!

Like you, I'm a bit new here too, but I came here to buy Amiga stuff and bring back all those fond memories (just like the ones you lost)! It's been a wonderful ride (as I expected), and I'm sure you'll like this community and I'm also sure you'll stay for more time than enough to make your trades (either buy or sell).

Have fun!

Welcome to the bay! You probably found one of the best, supportive Amiga pages on the internet, and also the fastest. Today is not the best day, :help:, but have fun on here, ask question, post pics

I recently pulled my 2 Amigas out of storage also and I have had some trouble remembering certain Amiga specific things. I have always loved these machines and have owned 4 over the years. The 2 I still have now, I bought in 1997. I'm loving being back into the Amiga community. Good to have another Amiga reborn newbie here!

Nice one, I am after one just like yours actually and sadly without much luck. Still, I would sometime open them up and check out the battery (if you havn't already).

P.s. Welcome to the forum.

 

[Hettle]

Thanks Tokyoracer - yep, I know I should be opening them up but am having that "close-your-eyes-and-hope-it-hasn't-happened" five minutes. Perhaps a long slow Italian Sunday lunch and some good wine will combine to give me the courage to have a peek on Sunday afternoon! - promise I won't tweek anything until sober though!

Welcome to Amibay, Geraldine!

This is a great site, albeit the last two days problems in the staff area which will be sorted in a short space of time.

With remark to rkauers post above, I concur his feelings.

Best wishes & welcome to AmiBay.
