An old Dragon says hi to all!

Glad to be here!, after some time lurking and reading the forums, I've finally decided to register and collaborate to maintain alive the Dragon community :)

About me: I'm 44 years old, male, and the most important thing: I still remember how the Dragon was the first computer I'd used loong time ago, about 1983. Some friends of mine acquired a Dragon 64 and was absolutely amazed with the machine, they've only a couple of commercial programs (Cyruss cart, synther 7, for example); but a lot of listings to type. As we didn't have a tape recorder, each listing needed to be typed every time we wanted to play. Never pushing a power button was a tougher decision! :D
Now, years later I've finished collecting myself quite a lot of Dragon gear: a Dragon 32, a strange Tano Dragon and a Dragon 200, drives, controllers and a lot of software and carts. Also, being a fan of Dragon I cannot resist to get a lot of CoCo hardware & software, being a nicely expanded CoCo3 the best machine of all :)

Btw, big thanks to robcfg, a Dragon fellow who helped me to register in the forum :ugeek:

Hey JL, welcome to the forum!

You should thank Rolf Michelsen for that, I only transmitted the message... ;)

As you can see, we're pushing our efforts to preserve the Dragon's software and hardware, like your Delta controller (wink, wink), so any help is welcome.

Cheers!
