Hello All.
Just joined the forum, sat on the sidelines for a while looking in before taking the plunge.
Been repairing 8 bit micros since the 80s after starting working in the then only authorised reseller and distributor of Acorn products.
Since then, been involved in some major projects for large companies providing integration and management services, held chief engineering posts etc (Cant talk much about these things)
These days semi-retired but still maintaining computers and connectivity in all forms.
Don't see too many Atari machines hence not having joined here before, mainly see Acorn, Commodore, Sinclair, Tandy and a few other rare makes. Although just now have two 520's and a 1040 in the workshop all from the same person.
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..
It helps build a picture where our "good traffic" is coming from..
Thanks :)
