| Posted by skal on 02-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | So, Petro is leaving...
I see so many people who have their "issues" with the man. I have had my disagreements with some of the things he's said, in the past, and some of his methods. Having said that, let's not lose sight of one inescapable fact:
In the darkest days of the Amiga, it was Petro who kept a light burning in the dark. Somehow, he kept SOMETHING going. You gotta give him credit: In his own(sometimes unfathomable) Teutonic Businessman way, he kept something of the Amiga just far enough above water for it to breathe and survive. He kept lines open to user groups enough to keep the bleeding of users from turning into a full-on femoral artery dump. He kept product out there. He kept some products in some sort of development. He done pretty damn good, considering.
The guy was like one of those punching bags things: knock it down, it pops right back up. He didn't know how to quit. In his own way, he was indomitable.
So, say what you will. Say what you feel you must. One things you can say about the "Amiga Community" is that there is no shortage of opinions and some of them will certainly help you grow a fine garden, but it appears that the Amiga is on a healthy track back. That is in no small part due to the efforts of Petro, and for that, he deserves every Amigan's thanks and respect.
You gotta admit, the guy has balls. Big ones. Any bigger and they would qualify for National Monument status.
