Hello Everyone,
I signed up a while back, but hadn't used this place much until recently. I was mainly into Emu's but I finally decided I'd go ahead and get the REAL thing.
Flashback of memories...
My dad had a C128 when I was a kid, the first gaming machine I ever laid my eyes on. Instant love, then joined the local users group. I then eventually got my own C64. I had it for quite a few years, then sold it to get the money for a new computer. An Amiga or an IBM. I settled for an IBM XT.. Terrible mistake! After a few years of continual upgrading, I got into emulators and found emulators for the Commodore family. YAY!!! After emulating the C64 for a while I wanted the real thing again.
I ended up getting my old C64 back in terrible shape, had to transplant some chips because it had been stored in the guy's 120 degree F shed for a couple of years, then I had a friend give me his C64 collection. Then as luck would have it, a couple years later I got the local 'now defunct' users group's collection.
Anyway, I got an A500 a little over a year ago, and signed up for an account here.
FINALLY... About a week ago I just got an A1200 with a HDD.
NOW... I'm here and ready to go.
ME :-D
