I started with the c64 back in 1983. In 1988 I got me an Amiga 500.
In the same year I started a programming course. I noticed that everything was PC in the computer class. So I got myself an Amiga Sidecar and with help of some friends adapted it to the A500. Ugly looking but it worked. In 1990 I was forced to buy a PC. From that on I began to use the Commodores less and less. With the rise of the internet in the nineties I kept following the scene but not doing anything with the c64 or Amiga.
Last winter I started getting interested again in the c64 and Amiga. I started acquiring hardware and visiting commodore clubs in Holland and Belgium.
I visited the Amiga 30 years event in Amsterdam. That was a once in a lifetime chance to meet with creator's of the Commodore and Amiga computers.
I'm back ;-)
Good stuff. Sounds familiar. The Commodore hobby is like the "Hotel California", you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. ;')
