Back Home in the Craziness

What a trip that was, but now I am back and at home. Things are crazy here in California, and all over the world. As a result of that things have gotten a lot slower. What does this mean for doing repairs and getting things back out? I cant answer that just yet unfortunately. I am currently on a mandated quarantine for the next 14 days. I am stuck indoors and working from home. Thats good for the things I have here, but not good for things like getting parts and going to the post office. I plan to get all I can done and things will go out, but I just ask that you all understand and dont ask for the impossible during this crazy time were are all currently in. Stay safe, be smart and keep healthy!

Amiga 35th Silicon Valley

This is the event here in the US we’ve all been waiting for!

Amiga 35th represents the second major Amiga event in Silicon Valley.  The first event celebrated the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Amiga 1000 while focusing on the history of the Amiga.  That conference drew over 400 attendees across two days and attracted a who’s who of pioneers and innovators from throughout the lifetime of the Amiga both past and present.

The Amiga 35th event will have a different focus.  We are going to be celebrating the Amiga community.  We will offer exhibits, Amiga personalities, and on Saturday a big birthday bash.
