Hello RizThomas! Thanks for joining AmigaLove. We're go glad to have you.
And wow - your Amiga collection sounds amazing!
I don't see ( much) Amigans here in Vancouver Canada
They do exist. We have a member here - Alterus - who (I believe) is in Victoria BC. He actually runs a
Commodore 64 user group, as well as a fantastic 40-col PETSCII BBS off a C64. I try to connect to it nearly every night. Lately I've been hitting my BBSes each night with my Amiga 1000 using a WiFi modem. The modem works with all of my Amigas, actually, no matter which one I'm using. I mostly alternate between my 1000 and 2000. I simply love both. I also have a 500 and 1200. I'm pretty much done buying machines - these 4 accomplish everything I want to do with Amigas, not including the occasional (old stock) upgrade here or there.
For what it's worth, I and a few other members here are 3 hours south in Seattle.
These days I've been on a fruitless hunt for an external HDD for the 1000. Finding one of those, I think, may be a once a year kind of deal. It's amazing how they simply don't exist in the marketplace. I may wind up getting an ACA 500+ at some point just to future-proof the machine, but I really like the way it is.
Oh, and you may notice little
down below each person's posts. I put those in there for folks to click if they "Like" something they've read. You don't have to use them, of course, but if you do that's great, too. It's better than Replies below posts of "+1!" etc.
Oh, and if you were ever into playing Amiga games, there is a Games Library (see the link in the site header) that I've been slowly building where I do an in-depth review of a game. I also rip ADF files when appropriate for users to download and try themselves. I'm up to75 games so far. Probably about half-way, to be honest, in what I'll eventually put in there before I ease up on doing that. At the rate I'm going I should reach my original goal at the end of 2019! Then I'll just do them piecemeal most likely. You can vote on those games, too, by clicking the hearts you see on the page.
Thanks again for joining and I look forward to seeing you around AmigaLove!
