This forum is running for about 15 days now, and I've seen the registered members count going up slowly but steadily! I see 47 registered users, though few have actually posted something, plus I don't reckognize most of the nicknames there. So, please, tell us something about yourselves! Who are you, your involvement with Atari 16/32 computers, why you signed up for this forum... you know, the usual stuff :) I guess you know us, if you don't just read our web page for more info :) Your turn! (P.S. another reason is that because I think we're getting attention from spambots, so if you post at least here then we'll know that you are a human person :) )

Well, here is the information on who I am.

I am known as Doctor Vell online, even though that is not my real name.  I have been using Atari computers since 1981 with my first Atari 800 and eventually grew into the ST series.  I once had an Atari 520ST preproduction model with the serial number of #00034 hand written on it along with the signature of one of the Tramiel boys (can't remember who).  It eventually died on me, but it was a great piece of hardware.  I then obtained an Atari 1040STe with a whole 4mb of RAM.  I was thrilled.  I still have that machine but it is at my parents in another part of the country.  I hope to have it hooked up again sometime, but I don't know when.

I never got an Atari TT030 or a Falcon, even though I wanted them.  But now all I use is STEEM on my Windows machine.  I want to eventually get all the D-Bug, Automatation,  and Pompey Pirates stuff (along with all the other Atari archives, complete if all possible) on this machine and then installed on my Atari too (but need a hard drive I believe and lots of CDs too).

Oh I joined to talk to other Atari ST series computer users and hopefully connect and get some stuff.  Thanks

Cya!
