As was mentioned earlier, and this applies to anyone with server issues...

We are running our servers on a true T3 now, so we have plenty of bandwidth and space available. If anyone has Amiga content related sites that they need hosted, I have authorised our staff to offer free hosting on one of our machines to them. There really are some nice sites out there that are endangered of going away due to cost issues, which is a sad, but true reality for many web designers and creative individuals who deserve better...

For such a small, dedicated community, this shouldn't ever have to be an issue.

Our servers have PhP4, Perl5, RebolView/Core and MySQL installed, so all of the above are available to you.

So if anyone needs a content site (e.g. non-commercial site) hosted, we can arrange this with you at no cost to you. This applies to Morph, AROS, and Be related sites too.

If interested, e-mail LotR@merlancial.com.

This is my way of giving some back to the Amiga community..

I've personally almost given up hope of anything real out of A.I. now, as they are even in debt to me for a large sum of money...but as far as the Amiga community is concerned, I have better hopes. You truly are a bunch of wonderful colourful individuals who I have always loved working with. It's a shame we haven't made as great a comeback as I would have hoped...

In reply to Comment 9 (MIKE):
I still can't honestly see the "coupon" thing as being a cash-raising excercise. I believe Amiga Inc when they say they are testing the market to get a realistic figure of how many potential AmigaOne owners are out there - but it doesn't seem to have worked (for various reasons). Consider this: even IF they sold 2500 coupons, that's only $125,000 (which wouldn't even pay off my mortgage). Now subtract the cost of the T-shirt and postage & packing and you are probably left with $85,000... which wouldn't even cover the costs of 1 months operations.
According to the MOS team, Amiga Inc ran out of cash over 18 months ago and had their phones cut off... they seem to be doing well for a company that has had no income for a year and a half. I think it's pretty obvious that Amiga Inc (and their friends) are doing well, products are being shipped and developed, Amiga Inc are interested in what their customers and protential customers think... and the competition are VERY worried. Even a rat will attack a bear when it's backed into a corner with no escape... and Thendic seem to be on the attack... :)
