Invite

[zeke1312]

Just got an invite to come back and post...it's been awhile since I have posted. Questions more than anything. I still have my C128, monitor and floppy drives...just have not been "playing" with them. In the meantime a bought a 1200 on ebay (big mistake) and now I'm full circle back to WinUAE on my new notebook.

I guess I'm far enough along (age!) that it takes me longer to get back in the groove. I'm back to building rockets, you know, the kind you launch. Paper balsa wood, Exacto knife, Dremel drill, etc. It takes me about a month build one. Anyhow, I thought I'd post again and maybe get back in the C128 groove.

Welcome back!  Have you considered using the C128 in your rocket hobby?  Like calculating trajectories or maybe to cordinate a series of launches in a pyrotechnic display?  (if you live in town, pyrotechnics might be illegal)

Just curious, what's wrong with the 1200?  I've long considered getting an Amiga.  Back in the day it was because of its superior abilities (which I couldn't afford) but now it is more to work with 680x0 CPU -- the machine language seems fun (for a lack of a better adjective).  A simple 680x0 emulator might quinch my curiosity, but to have some real hardware -- vintage hardware -- also sounds nice.  The OS and all the custom chips are the things (huge learning curve I'm sure) that have kept me from it.
