Why? All because of the wireless PCMCIA network card I got from AmigaKit. I have not been able to write anything for my blog due to the fact that I am so busy with it. Currently I am writing about it which I hope to post later today. It was a bit of a journey which you can read all about it later on. It is up and running and boy what a joy. The possibilities it suddenly gives you. Being able to get all those games and write them back to a floppy disk and play them like there is no tomorrow. I really have to force myself to stay away from it at certain times so I can at least write about it and have some sort of normal life.
After reading the article at Old School Game Blog in which he talks about his Amiga 500 having died I got worried and I wanted to try out mine. It has been almost 10 years in which I have not even switched it on once. After taking it out of the box and setting it up I flipped the switch and there was the famous hand “waving” at me as it did for so many years already. Phew! I was really relieved it was still working but also took a moment of silence for the other Amiga 500 that died. Brothers in arms, eh?
Besides the article about the setting up of the wireless card on my A1200 I also have a game review in the pipeline. Actually a lot but I am about to start with one first. I am aiming to have it done this week. Another great thing I am (and really need to) about to do is to get Amos Professional installed so I can work on the disk magazine. Playing games and writing code… just like old times. The geek factor in my house is at a all time high. I really have that “old” feeling back. At moments when I am playing games in my room it feels like I am still in that period of time. What also happened is that I have not fired up my AmigaOne with OS4 for some time but only had the classics on. Well time to write some more and play games.

Hi mate,
Thanks for the mention. Much appreciated! 🙂
It’s great that the “geek factor” is an all-time time high. Looking forward to read more about the upcoming diskmag and your other projects.
AMOS Professional is excellent. There are lot’s of cool extensions for it, like the AMCAF, which brings a whole set of new features to the program.
Amiga rulez!

The weekend is finally here. Had to go to work earlier today though, which sucked, but now I’ve got the whole evening off and also tomorrow. 🙂 Will I be checking my Amiga later tonight? The possibility is high.. 😉

🙂 I was out all day with the wife and really tired but I am still going to play some games on my Amiga and do some other stuff. That is how a Saturday evening should be. Go Amiga!
