Hello from Southern California

Figured it was about time to properly introduce myself, been around on the forum for some time, whilst the retro bug has gradually been building up...and up!
Grew up in norway, I started with the spectrum 48k, then onto the 800xl , then a 520stm with a 354 and a 314, which eventually got a 1mb upgrade, it was sold when the ste came out and i got one of the first 1040ste´s that came to the country!
I fell out of the scene in late 93 or so, and life took over lol. But what a glorious time it was... every week new disks in the mail with new excitement injected into my life and my ST!
Just acquired a 4mb ste and look forward to start nerding around with it/upgrading it, so cool to see the community is alive :D
I wanted to learn mc68000 and code demo´s back in the day, but never really got the hang of it! So STOS was my main thing back then, we even released a demo as 14-15year olds, and seeing it again today is a mix of fun and awkwardness , haha, I actually saw it again for the first time in maaaaaany years on exxos´s stos pages, we called it the BLIPP demo, and all the screens are all basically the same effects over and over agin :lol:
Oh well, enough babling from me, but hey everybody, its good to be here :D
