  1. Last few months I've been getting back into #retrocomputing. Been sidetracked for a while as my brain often does.

    While a few years ago I was trying to focus on all the things, budget issues and lack of focus issues meant I needed to try and focus on one thing. So at the moment, that's the #amiga.

    Now I have an #A600GS and I'm upgrading my old A500 with a PiStorm. It's been interesting, but most fun was getting a Greaseweazle and using floppy disks on the A600GS... 😎

  2. last release includes out of the box a monitor widget. That surfaced to me that my cpu was constantly at 80/90C even with a heat sink. I wasn't at ease with that and I tried a quick fix by installing inside the case a mini usb vent. Has been doing wonders and now the system is constantly below 50C 😎

  7. I couldn’t resist and in the end I bought an to have a modern amiga system.

    I’m still confused about where the community is going to between OS4.1 / OS 3.2 / AROS // ApolloOS / MorphOS but I had to start from somewhere
