Amiga certainly has a place in computer history. Imo, it was the first modern multimedia home computer :) Of course, Apple was the first to adapt a mouse driven gui, but the Mac only had a 9 inch black & white screen. Amiga had multitasking, 4096 colors, 4 channels of 8 bit audio, all integrated on the motherboard. Iirc, Commodore bought the Amiga from a small startup called Hi-Toro. Too bad Commodore had management problems, and could not keep up with the fast pace of computer tech. The avatar is a scene from an old movie called, 2001: A Space Odyssey ;)

By the way, that avatar of yours... I saw it before. If I remeber rightly, it was on a page with a game store ad... and the apre was grabbing a pad. :D

Well, that's quite simple. :) Putting away the technical side of computer science, I often act like a sort of... historian, and I've any problem in admitting that most of times I prefer the old environment... ^^" One day, I thought of that strange machine... how was that? Right, "Amiga". All I knew was just that the machine had its own grafical OS, so I became curious about it. I didn't know it was called "workbench", so I searched fo "Amiga OS", and I found OS4. Starting from the OS4 point I went backward to the old Amiga history. :)

Welcome to ArosWorld :) Most of us are long time Amiga fans. So I'm somewhat curious about how you discovered Amiga, and AROS, in the post desktop era? Anyway, good luck in building an AROS machine. Sometimes it can be a challenge to find an AROS compatible setup. But there is some online help available. [url]http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_support[/url] And people here are always available to answer newbie questions ;) Thanks for saying hello :)

Hello there! :D I'm a newbie in the Amiga world, curious and excited about a new discovery, AROS! :D Using it on VMWare adn partially supported hardware (waiting to find a fully supported configuration and build my own AROS machine), I'd like to make my part in the development of this amazing OS. :) Well, there's nothing more to say, except I'm glad I can discuss here. ^_^

Thank you very much amigamia. It couldn't have been possible without you :)

Done Sir! ;)

Hello and Welcome....

HI There Everyone. Just introducing myself. I'm Sal AKA: Kjmann. I've been an Avid Amiga User since 1989. I also am an Atari 8-Bit user. My Little Company "Atlantis Games Group" Produced and Wrote 2 games for the Atari 8-Bit. Tempest Xtreem And Venture. We also Did the Cartridge production for Space Harrier XE, for the atari 8-bit. I personally did the soundtracks for all three games. and the SFX for Tempest and Venture. I love the Amiga and would like to get a coder for doing a Classic Amiga Game Sometime. I use a Classic OS system consisting of A2000 with an A2630 Accelerator Card (68030 @ 25mhz) A GVP Impact II +8 SCSI Card A TANDEM IDE Card (For Use with my 52X Sony CDROM) The System has 8 Megs of Zorro II Fast RAM and 1 Meg of Chip Ram. I use an S-Video Adapter that I designed Myself to connect to my LCD 32" Screen I have a 20gig 44pin IDE Hard Drive connected to the SCSI Card Via a SCSI to IDE Bridge Adapter. I'm Running OS 3.9 (Officially)

Thank you Magorium for your reply :) Yeah! There are "easier" hobbies :p But I love use my brain ... Even if I'm far to be the best scientist in the world. I love the science, the maths and use them even if I don't master them :p For example, as another hobby, I mind about "atoms", "particles", "electromagnetic interaction", etc... :p Have a good day :)

hi AmiDARK, First of all a very welcome to these forums. Thank you very much for joining up, and having taken the time to introduce yourself. A gaming engine as a hobby project...hmz, i can think of easier hobby projects (like collecting stamps for example :D). In case you run into AROS specific issues, then feel free to discuss them. Although perhaps very technical questions belong to the AROS developers ML. Unfortunately a-e forums have a little issue atm, as that would be where most developers post and you could get some answers as well. Hopefully you'll enjoy your stay.

Hello. I'm AmiDARK (true name Fr?d?ric). I love Music (I'm musician and a creative composer), astronomy, computers, video games, physics and esoterism. I started some years ago a really big project alone that is called the AmiDARK Engine. A Game Development Kit for Amiga platforms. It is currently compatible with AmigaOS4 and MorphOS. I'm working on the port of it for AROS i386. The Game Development Kit is not finished (Partial 3D support, good 2D support, OpenGL) but it is always on WIP. Of course it's a hobby project so ... progress are low. I've made a bounty to release the source code so, it will maybe help improving the GDK faster :) Here is all I think. Regards,

Welcome and have fun . . .

Welcome back again ;)

Welcome..

Sorry for not replying back before but if I haven't been at work I have been testing Aros. Pushed it in various ways ie multi tasking, command line compatibilty with different Amiga programmes etc Burning DVDs playing vids and music etc. My son in law has also bought a machine and installed Aros and has had no problems. I now have a computer that I can use and enjoy at last thanks.:D
