Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
To all my subscribers who return every week to watch whatever HAM is serving up. THANK YOU! There's a CORE group of you who have been on this ride with me since the beginning. Many more of you have joined along the way and I appreciate all your support and fun stories you share.
It's been near 4-years of videos. Over 300 now. The content has grown and changed in neat ways and sometimes in not so neat ways. ;)
The amount of information and history stored in my videos are pretty cool, looking back. I use my own videos to help me when I forget things! Glad to have gotten this content shared for all. Even with its under produced, poorly produced vibe! :)
I have covered so many things in my videos, that I am about at my end. You may notice longer gaps between new video releases. The newer CGI Challenge videos have been fun. Was a neat series to try. They require A LOT of work to complete. I am glad I did them, and for those of you who enjoyed and commented, thank you.
Now I return to "real life" things while I ponder what HAM can do moving forward! Thank you all!

I appreciate everyone's interest in all that is HOLD and MODIFY! I have gotten comments as to how to contact me. You need to use the "desktop" version of YouTube. Under my channel name you should see a "...MORE" type clickable thing. In there you'll get a pop-up that lets you see a contact email. You need to be signed in for that to show. You don't need to be a member of my channel, you don't need YouTube Premium. You DO need a YouTube account though. When you click that, you can email me at the address it will reveal. Also, this is how I can give you my PO BOX for those of you who have expressed an interest in sending me fun things. That's super awesome! I do want to clarify that I am NOT a repair tech. I don't have any of those skills or tools. So please understand that. Thank you so much and on with 2025!

Happy 2025! Amazing to think the image below is how "Hold and Modify" started over 3-years ago. Snagged a smoking deal on TWO A1200s. Then started re-learning all that is Amiga. Started my
own channel inspired by Dan Wood, Douglas Compton and Chris Edwards!
I thank all of you who watch, like, and sub. To any of you who have been here since those early days, I thank you AGAIN for all your patience and support!

These computers still amaze me. I did something last night I've always said not to do. Too much a risk.
Those of you that know me. I have a YouTube channel where I review our lovely machines and show off 3-D animation/rendering using Lightwave3d.
Last night I loaded up a scene on my A3000. It has a 50MHz '060 and set it off to render overnight. I'm always concerned letting the machine run all night like that at 100%.
This morning I woke up to joy! The scene was complete and the machine was not overly warm or locked up. It rendered it like a champ!

I have achieved a balance of MkIII settings to get me round balls. As you can see from this Workbench screenshot. The balls might still look a little oblong. Especially the "Prefs" circle. That is extraordinarily oval. However, I think this is by design. Whoever made these may have just run into the same situation I did when they created them or that's just how they were made. I can tweak the MkIII to squish the screen even more to make those balls round. When I do that, and then I go into Deluxe Paint or Lightwave and create a ball. The ball will be squished. So I'm going to trust the 2-D paint program and 3-D programs over icons provided for Workbench. In the end, I am happy! I thank everyone who helped and gave great tips!

in my last video, I mentioned the program Vista Pro. This is a 3-D landscape generation and animation program. Very lovely. I am still impressed with the type of images you can create. Very cozy.
Yes, I have done videos about the software. :)

Here is an A1200 with a 50mhz 68030 from CSA hitting a chip speed of 7.2 with SysInfo 4.3.
This is a screen grab from Dr. Chris’s (Chris Edward’s Restoration on YT) recent video of his repair of my friends A1200.

STATS FOR NERDS.
BUSTEST with CHIP RAM using various CPU add-on cards for A1200. I had run SysInfo in a video I had done. I compared its numbers interpretting them for their reletive values, not necessarily their asccuracy. This BUSTEST should be accurate results, now.
