Title: Re: Introduce yourselves!

Wow - I've been registered for a while and only just noticed this thread...

My name is James and I'm the editor of RGCD, a popular yet still-in-it's-infancy CD-based magazine dedicated to reviewing the latest homebrew releases for otherwise unsupported retro machines.  Other the years I've had (and sold) many computers - the Atari ST included - and I got into retro hardware a few years ago because I personally find modern computers souless and uninspiring.

I've just spent a small fortune buying an upgraded Atari STE for the soul purpose of playing D-Bug's HD fixes and recent titles by groups like Paradize.  This might not make sense to some of you (afterall, STEEM is a fantastic emulator), but as I discovered by buying a C64 for playing demos recently, you *really* cannot beat the experience of using vintage hardware.

Anyway, what else can I say?  I'm 28, married and have a 4 month old daughter.  Heavy Stylus is actually my DJ handle - I work most weekends playing oldschool hiphop, funk, soul, and reggae throughout the south west (well, Exeter, Plymouth and Bristol anyway), and my day job involves ordering bits of equipment to maintain the railway.  Interesting, huh?

I'm proud to have rejoined the Atari scene (although I'm not actually a scener), and hope to see the machine live on for many more years.  I just wish I had the time available to learn to code!

That's me done.
