Glad to have you here. Awesome backstory. What did you do with the Amigas - gaming? Pixeling? Programming?
I started off doing gaming and homework for school, but I was always pretty technical and artistic, so I did quite a lot of graphic work on the Amiga as well as programming. I did my degree on the Amiga, which did involve a lot of programming in POP-11, Prolog, Lisp and then, when I needed more speed for neural networks, C.

I go to Spain once a year, although rather near Barcelona. And I also go to Austria one a year if not twice.
Both are lovely places to visit. I haven't been back to Austria since moving back to Spain, but will be there again in April and am quite looking forward to it!

As mentioned before - got any pics of your machines?
And really I would like to hear if there was a special moment that brought you to the Amiga?
I'm afraid that I don't have any pictures of my machines, but I will unearth both of the ones I have when I have a moment.
As for the moment that brought me to it, as I mentioned, I started off with the Commodore 8-bit machines, so after my sojourn on the Sinclair QL, the only real next step was either the Amiga or the Atari ST. I hated the look of the ST's interface and had the Commodore background, so I bought my Amiga 500 after saving for a bit and selling the QL and never looked back!
