Mr.Spiv ...

Mr Spiv of ScoopexA male who refuses to grow up, born in -72, married and two kids. I live in Finland, the land of chosen people.

I started with ZX Spectrum around -85. Then moved to Amiga late -88 and joined the scene in -89. Gave up with Amiga somewhere around -02 and been using Macs & OSX ever since.

During my active days -89-92 I coded a bunch of crap and stuff with a taste of small fame at some point of time. Now I idle, though, I had s short comeback on GP32 and GBA around -03-04.

I still fiddle around with my trusty Amiga and old console junk. By the way, a demo must have a scroller!

Got some free time and dug out my A600...

Phew.. A lot has happened since last time. I relocated my whole family to USA.. The centre of Silicon Valley to be more precise and in a middle of year just before Xmas. That was quite a stretch to be honest. My furniture, geek crap and stuff arrive as late as mid March ;) Anyway, mid June was the first time I actually had time for myself, visit Fry's, buy enough 110V/60Hz stuff to build my gear (Amiga for example) a PSU that works here.. and tadaa.. my A600 was alive.
