I was Major Amiga 500, 2000, and the 3000. There was no Software for the AmigA, the best stuff never made it out of Germany. Sooo I grabbed software from any source available, people, pirate sites, Internet with Pine (no sticking WWW for me.) To kinda show you what I still have software wise. I have Three wooden boxes like this one, three drawers each http://i39.tinypic.com/5u1i11.jpg Each drawer is filled with 720K floppy disk. (most of the disk were 1.4, but 720K was what the AmigA did. http://i42.tinypic.com/fof67n.jpg And yes indeed they are all in storage :) I also ran one of the most popular BBS's in my area, Cnet, it was a chat board with 6 lines. -- Face appears in an icicle. Since it's in the Godless Northwest, no one's claiming it's Jesus http://www.komonews.com/weather/blog/36578184.html?blog=y
