New IRC channel for classic Amigas

irc.amigaworld.net

#amiga68k

A1000-A4000 machines (non-PPC/OS4). Keeping it real as it were. Pure nostalgia.

@A1200

What about the new Natami computers that will be coming out in the next few months and the MiniMig? Will that be permissible on the new channel?

@Samurai_Crow

Well I am not going to police it, although I am the FOP on chanserv. If no one is pushing for a revolution, I see no reason why not

Emulation is a classic route too I suppose

@A1200

What's the score? Who's it for?

Well its for people like me really, who want to chat and ask questions about old Amiga. Being nostalgic about the Amiga means:

- No worries on the outcome of the lawsuit
- Who cares if no one continues with a new OS
- Hardware is only a problem if you don't have an eBay account :)

By all means have fun with new software and push your classics to the max, but don't try to make them replace a modern PC or Mac becuase that just spoils the fun of Amiga.

If you do come to the channel, VERSION me. I am running Grapevine IRC on my A600HD - Standard 68000/7MHz with 2MB RAM, running WiFi!

There is about 10-11 people in there at peak times now so its going OK. You are all welcome, classic Amiga and retro computing is the basis of the channel but you can talk about anything really, its really nice.
