hi from Denmark

Post by dempsey »

hi - I was about 12 in 1983, when my parents came home with a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k and man did I spend a lot of time on that machine, I loved it dearly. I was always defending my Spectrum fiercely against any Commodore 64 owners so I'd be damned, if my next computer was going to be a Commodore, so after the Spectrum I got an Amstrad CPC 6128 which I was also very happy about.

You would have thought that my next 'natural' move would have been to get an Atari ST but fate would it, that around 1987 I was at a computer conference in Copenhagen and saw something that completely changed my mind that day, I saw Defender of The Crown on an Amiga and from that day on, I knew I had to switch side, so when the Amiga 500 was launched, I got one and was extremely happy with that machine - actually so happy, that when Commodore released the A1200 I got one of those also, then maybe 2 years later I jumped ship for the PC, didn't we all :-)

The thing is, I never got to try out an Atari ST, so just recently I bought an Atari 1040 STE and at the moment, I am eagerly awaiting a video cable I bought on ebay, I also ordered an Ultrasatan Mini which is, at the moment, stranded somewhere in a Spanish post-office, probably delayed because of this business with Corona.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to trying out an Atari ST and already something is telling me, that had I got an Atari back in the day, I would probably have been perfectly happy about that.

cheers :)
