ah, yes.. the whole "invasion" thing people were quite cross with us!

FEZ ME

That's my wife and me on our trip to Greenland.

I have to be honest Norbert, your wife looks better prepared for Greenland than you do  

Kind of like me when I was sent to Montreal in February for the first time... Trainers and a jacket simply don't cut it! I nearly died just walking to the office (-28C is *cold*)

To be honest CaptainBoing, I suppose that I got through it well because my 'orbit' seems to be a little bigger than hers...

Hi guys.

Thanks for letting me be part of the forum and hello to everyone. I am as new as I could be here, but I hope you allow me to say: Boy, this is an old mans place   So I will fit quite well, I think:




I´m here because for some time I followed anything Colour Maximite. When I was a kid I desperately tried to program my own games on my C64, but I never get any fun out of assembler. But I did find the perfect environment for my programming skills with AMOS on my Amiga later. So much fun. And the Colour Maximite 2 instantly reminds me of that: MM Basic, it´s technical features... I can´t wait to get it in my hands. I´m sure I will have several questions I will be able to discuss here and I hope I can contribute to the community in the near future.

Greetings from Germany

Welcome to the forum, Boris, and, hey, I like your antennae--you will indeed fit right in!

Hi,
I'm new here too, I found this site recently while looking for more information on the Color Maximite 2, and it looks like it has all sorts of other things that I am interested in as well.  Here's a picture of me taken at the start of the year.



About me: I started down this rabbit hole in the early 80's with a Dick Smith  System-80 (PMC-80).  A friend introduced me to modifying it, including adding a Don-Mon, building our own RS232 ports, Double Density adapters etc.  Basic programming, assembler programming, which led to my first job.  Since then I've always liked to tinker with electronics, but software is my main speciality.

Looking forward to having fun and tinkering with my CMM2.

Hi Martin,

Welcome to the forum...

You weren’t involved with the airforce were you?

I tinkered with double density boards for the system 80 and of course don mon fantastic util in only 300H bytes. By Don McKenzie.

Only in the picture above.

Based on your picture of your last day at work, I think we have a workplace in common, that is where I have been employed for the last 15 years.

Hi ,

After some years around here , it's funny to finally see the face of all the members  
So , i just take a pics from my old face and share it with you

Hello Jordi and welcome, bienvenido a TBS

     

Really the program have SOME bugs:

- Two lines with 20 number.
- Line 80 the command is INKEY$ ------ > Syntax error!!!!

     




P.S. Start test CMM2 commands...

Wanted to stop in and introduce myself as a N00b.

Love the project and received my CMM2 a few days ago from Circuit gizmos, thanks Rob.

I am not a programmer by trade but a Sales Engineer for Splunk and look forward to hanging out here from time to time.

Hi, I'm new here, but I'm very excited about the CMM2, and will hopefully be able to make some positive contribution to this amazing group. Thanks for having me.

I'm the one without hair. My floofball of an idiot dog actually knows very little about computers.

Hello,

I'm Chris.

I just took the plunge and purchased a CMM2, in no small part due to the 8bitguy video. It'll probably take a few weeks before it arrives.

I really like the idea of a machine where basic doesn't need to be compiled but it acts as if it is - and then some. I also like the constraints of the platform too.

Good day.

I've been reading the documentation, browsing the forum, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of my CMM-2 kit since I ordered it. I've been involved with computers and electronics since the late 1970s, and I'm looking forward to playing with both the software and hardware aspects of the computer.

I don't have any good recent photos of myself, but here's one from last December.
