Hi all, Matt from the UK. Been a longtime lurker and big fan of the work being done here as well as the calm retrocomputing vibe here.
Dragon32->C64c->C64->PC->UnixBoxen/Macs, I missed out on the 16bit era due to the price growing up. Amiga was great for games and all, but the ST caught my eye as the more serious choice and the Falcon i remember saving for - alas it disappeared faster than my money did.
Love to see the work here, Raven, H5 and so on.

Hello - missed the 16bit era
Re: Hello - missed the 16bit era
You missed out on a bit of iconic computing history by missing the 16 bit era but I'm sure you'll make up for it now
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Oh don't worry, have been reliving vicariously through your antics!
There's some amazing things going on here.
