Greetings from Paris, France

Post by Hanabi »

Hello everyone !

I'm Hanabi, 50 years old.

I touched my first computer at 11 years old : a VIC20 that a friend's father had bought.
Quickly, I took computer lessons on C64. This is why my first computer was a CPC464 :D
Don't look for logic, there isn't any! Well yes : my cousin simply had one.
Migration to 6128 a year later, then to Atari STE.
After an mandatory passage on A500, I switched to the PC world, partly because of work, with a DX2-66.

First game console at 30 : an XBOX Cristal. But... my world is vintage computers.

Despite this, I troubleshoot a lot of equipment. Almost only consoles (Gameboy's, Game&Watch, PS...).
I very rarely touch computers, except for the Amstrad CPC.

After many years, I started to bring in a few old computers, often broken only because of a floppy drive problem, dead capacitors or battery leaks.

I like to refurbish old machines, although I own a few games, mainly on Amstrad.

Voilà !
