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

Each drawer is filled with 720K floppy disk. (most of the disk were
1.4, but 720K was what the AmigA did.

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.
