Hello world...

Post by Samuraik »

Dear Exxos-Team,
Dear all retro-machine stalwarts,
it's Raik from Berlin getting started today here on this forum. First of all as a Berliner I very much apologize for my poor english. At least I'll try to write correct words having a seperate browser-tab with a translator opened but maybe the grammar will be weird.

Similar to many others I found this site when looking for more information on problems I have with lately purchased computers.

Redarding my retro-vita I can tell the I started with an Commodore 64 in 1993 which I have already today and this thing is working great still. Back in the days my cousins had a Amiga 2000 and my best schoolfriend had a Atari 1040 STe. In summary I have memories of playing games and making music with all three of these computers and my plan is alike others to show them to my son one day.
I was never involved in modding these machines and more kind of a simple user pushing & pulling floppy disks but as a hobby lastly I got a little bit into that which produced some questions I hope I can find someone to talk about here. :awwww:

Besides my C64 I acquired one Atari 1040 STe and one Amiga 500 since December 2020 and started to try things out, more on that in the designated topic's category.

so far
Raik
