Hi Folks,
I’m Damian. I had an A500 as a kid - the Batman pack. I had an Amstrad CPC 464 before that and it got me in to programming (not much else it’s good for with a fishbowl, green screen monitor, except for Elite). I was never satisfied with the Amiga from a programming point of view because Basic was slow, and at the time, I didn’t have enough knowledge to get Lattice C working - I had absolutely no understanding of linking and C libraries.
These days I’m a software developer for a living and I decided, in a weak moment, that I wanted to achieve the thing that had alluded me for 35 years - successfully compiling some code - so I bought an Amiga. I upgraded a bit to an A1200 though and am enjoying the luxury that I couldn’t afford in the past - a “hard drive”. Ahhhhh!
I started playing with the PiStorm32 recently - that’s quite an improvement - but for the non-RTG stuff, I am looking to an Indivision AGA mk3 but they seem to be as rare as rocking horse output.
TTFN,
Damian.
