Yeah.. Never thought I'd be back on the Amiga bandwagon!

Back then a basic os install didn'nt take up 23Gb. That's looking at you
windows.
I was using OS/2 on pc's and then later (like now) linux.

I still have my first 256Mb USB Memory stick, purchased for $100 when they
first came out.
It now has MS-DOS 6.5/QEMM/DV installed. Used for viewing ansi screens on a
laptop, and somethimes foing
firward updates for old cards. etc..

CRT's have contrubuted to my very bad eye sight. As sson as I could I switched
to LCD's.
I'm short sigted, and have had glasses since 10. But in the past 1.5 years they
 have gotten worse...
