Hah! You and I have the exact same disease - I mean gear. I also have a 500, 1000, 2000 and 1200 (all of mine are NTSC). My 2000 is beefed up with an 030 GeForce card and 18MB of RAM. My 1200 is bananas with an ACA1221 set to 21Mhz and maxed out RAM of (I think) 63MB. It's about 10X more than it really needs to be, to be honest. I really spend most of my time these days on the 2000 or 1000, and prefer OS 1.3. It just feels right to me. But to each his/her own.

The BBS scene - when you find the right boards - can be a ton of fun. I really enjoy it. The sad truth is, there are a ton out there that are just being ignored and are like digital ghost towns. If more people popped back in there it's be even more fun. Hope to see you around! (I go by 'intric8' or 'amigalove'

Cheers
