This year his role takes on an even greater… Continue reading Amiwest 2020 celebrating Amiga35

It’s been a while since my last update but, with the Covid-19 pandemic still dominating world news and events, it looks like my plan to attend various international Amiga 35 events will definitely be cancelled this year. Most of the shows I was planning to attend have at best been delayed, or at worst cancelled… Continue reading Kickstarting out of Lockdown

In my previous blog update I wrote about the growing threat of the COVID-19 virus. I followed this with the contagion update in my Soapbox article which will appear in the next edition of Amiga Future magazine. Since writing both updates there has been an exponential growth in the spread of Covid-19, so much so… Continue reading Lockdown

With the whole world worrying about the coronovirus threat, or COVID-19 as it’s now officially called, I returned from my winter trip to Europe and have since come down with a heavy summer/winter cold! And before anyone starts worrying, I had the coronovirus test and I passed, well I think I passed, the result was… Continue reading Contagion edition

This meant Steven… Continue reading Only the shadow knows!

I can’t believe it’s been four months since my last blog as I prepare to depart the shores of New Zealand again for some more “Triple-A” Amiga fun. Just where does the time go? In the intervening months I’ve met up with Amiga Enthusiast, Olav Fagerlund in Tokyo, while I was visiting my daughter in… Continue reading On the road again

What a week! It started with the Amiga Ireland 2019 meetup in Athlone and ended with SWAG’s Workbench 2019 club event in Chipping Sodbury with visits to Cardiff, in Wales and Aberdeen in Scotland sandwiched  in between. As I’m typing this update in London, England I can truly say I’ve travelled to all the counties… Continue reading Homeward bound

This will only be a short update as I’m about to leave summertime in New Zealand to fly to the frozen Northern hemisphere to attend the Amiga Ireland 2019 meetup and SWAG’s (South West Amiga Group) Workbench 2019 event. I will be joined at both shows with Matthew Leaman who will no doubt be bringing… Continue reading Fukubukuro

It seems like only yesterday I arrived back in New Zealand after a very enjoyable trip to California to attend the 21st AmiWest show in Sacramento. But with the summer in full swing down under and Christmas almost upon us I can’t believe 2018 has flashed by so quickly. My trip to AmiWest always brings… Continue reading I really can’t say anything bad about that……..
