Who will be No. 500???

@Mikey_C

Howdy Folks! I don't know if I'm #500 or not but after having been lurking for quite a while I decided to finally register. This is a nice site and I'm glad to be here...

Kind Regards,
Kay

PS: As far as Amigas go my poor old girl is hiding under my bed (bog std. A4000). I got to the point where it just couldn't do what I needed so she's been taking a long rest. I'm hanging out like everyone else, waiting to see the next drama in this continuing saga we're all involved in. I had really hoped to see new machines, but...

Welcome Sir! Welcome!

@Mikey_C

Thanks! I'm a ma'am by the way...

@Needle

***** faints!!!

A FEMALE AMIGA USER???

Wow! That's rarer than Orgin Banging his head against a door!

@Needle



Hope you enjoy your stay here

btw: What exactly did you want to do with the A4000?
I have an upgraded A4000 here myself and if it wouldn't be for
the AOneXE standing beside it, i'd use it daily (for now
it's only cracking OGR)

#500 is Joe Pillow, no doubt

@AmiKit

I would think its Jamie Kruger. (Hope I spelt it right) if Fastblit66 was 498, then its stands to reason that 500 has to be Jamie

Just my 2 cents anyhow.

Congrats to Jamie.

@Needle

Welcome Girl !

So, where are the new computers?

@Raziel

Like a lot of us I have software I need to use that is written for Windows only. I need financial, business, production software as well as the fun, artistic stuff. I also do a lot of research using the internet and it got to the point where at least a quarter of the web sites I wanted to get into were not viewable with Miggy. But even at that I used it as my only computer for a long time. I don't remember what version of Windows we were using where I worked at the time, but I sure didn't want to use it at home too... But Windows got better. Eventually. Now I'm using XP Pro.

When I sold my A2000 and got an A4000 ('94, '95-ish?) I had planned on doing a lot of upgrades and getting it current for the times (for the Amiga). Unfortunately, job changes and reduced income put the skids to that idea. If I could have upgraded my miggy no doubt I would still be using it for some of the work I need to do. Now it would be next to impossible, not to mention prohibitively expensive even if the hardware could be found. Amigas are so fun and easy to use I hated putting mine away.

I've been trying to keep up with Amiga developments over the years, hoping for a new system, and now we're landed in this newest legal mess. Is it ever gonna end??

Kind Regards,
Kay

New Amigas? Hung up in yet another court case. What are the odds that we'll see them some time this year? Very low is my guess.

LOLOL! That's probably true, don't know why though.

But then again, we really don't know how often Orgin bangs his head against doors now do we...

Ouch! I don't get into the forums every day so I obviously missed this story.

Hhmmm... I sometimes feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall, does a door give better results?
