About
About me (XPD) huh…. well….
Im in my 30′s, married to a great woman, 2 great kids, 1 westie rabbit, 1 nasty little cat and a loopy Dalmation X puppy.
Ive been online for way too long, starting with BBS’s (including my own) using my Amiga and then moved to the internet via Sinesurf and continued from there.
What I know and do is primarily self taught or learnt from friends – the only “official” papers I have is A+ and MCDST.
Im a gamer at heart, been so since 1990, got my Amiga around ’91, first proper PC in ’98 and now Ive slipped backwards a little (or maybe its forwards) by selling my desktop PC, relying on the work laptop and a Playstation 3 to satisfy my gaming and connectivity needs.
Regarding Amigas, I only ever owned two during their heyday, an Amiga 500 Plus (which was upgraded over the years to a kickass 030 CPU @ 40mhz, 10MB RAM) and an Amiga CD32. I no longer have any Amiga hardware as it all died or sold off, but I do have a huge collection of Amiga ADF files to run via WinUAE/LemonADE. Will this collection be made available to users of this site ? Probably not as Amiga software can still be held under copyright and my making it freely available could land me in trouble. If you really want Amiga software, then get to know Google 
Ive used Windows 98, ME (very short lived), 2000, XP and now Windows 7 in all aspects of my life and work.
