It's time to put aside pityful and damaging behavior. The very existance of the community is at stake.
Amiga needs to show now how many active users are out there, and by active I mean people who are willing to invest money in hardware and software. You want to show you're one of them? Get the $50 coupon (and free t-shirt) for an AmigaOne system; you don't care? Don't do anything at all, don't come complaining later when you'll find out that in the real world companies need to show their investors that there is a user base willing to purchase their product. And if you think that even without Amiga Inc. the community is going to survive think again: the numbers are getting smaller by the day, just two or three years ago people were saying there were still 300.000 active users, today we don't even know if there are 50,000 or 10,000 or even less. Without everyone's support the community <b>WILL</b> die. Time to set aside our differences and do one last effort to stay alive. Either you're in or you're out.

TO THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT : Comment 29 of 66 | ANN.lu |
Posted by teotwin on 25-Jun-2002 11:10 GMT | Ironic how the topic of coming together seems to bring out the worst in us, haha.
Not to worry, its will all be in the past and irrelevant soon. For one of two reasons. 1. Amiga (and all aspects of, including amiga inc, mos, a1 and pegasos) will die and the entire community with it, so no one will be left to hear the rubish, or 2. The platform will succeed and grow enough that the whining will be nothing but a quiet faint echo from the past that is dismissed before its written. Either way only a few years to go... So please, keep on whining, and be remembered for what your contibution to the platform really was. Dont you feel impotent in regard to actually acheiving something? because you are, your comments do nothing, no good, and in reality no bad, well not to amiga inc anyway. They just annoy. Whatever you are trying to do i dont understand why you persist. But feel free to do so. Because in the end it doesnt really matter, your involvment in the future will be short lived and you will be forgotton quickly... |
