Albeit a long time Amiga lover and active user, the recent war on ANN is bringing tears to my eyes... Dear All, just a short note from someone, who after ten + years with the lovely Miggy, has to see his favourite platform splinter, shatter and boycott itself in everlasting new flame wars and defamations. Where has the spirit gone, the dedication, the TOLERANCE and welcoming of new technology bringing our "beloved" machines that little bit further. There was no right and wrong, only ahead, towards a brighter future. My 4000T lies dormant for now, under the table, and in its place a SGI Octane brings me the news from "Planet Amiga". I will revive it, eventually, but active participation in the community? I don´t think so, it´s become so alien to me. Regards, in hope of a settlement and the return of tolerance... Hakim.

Remember one thing!!

Don't leave the Amiga scene for it. It's still alive. Don't judge it by the information you get from these places. Many, many Amiga users don't comment or read this list anymore but still use their Amiga's.
They just don't like the nonsense, misbehaviour and misinformation that has been going on. They will return to these lists if word gets out that the behaviour has returned to normal.

And look at me. I also hope for OS 4 and the AmigaOne soon but I also know how much time programming and getting hardware ready really takes. So offcourse I'm not frustrated. It's just Hyperion and a 30 odd so programmers and Eyetech doing ALL the stuff. Who have had set backs.

If you approach this logically then you will see that we have made much, much progress since Hyperion, Eyetech and the other programmers took over.

Untill then, just enjoy your Amiga. I do. As the matter is a fact I just bought a second hand Amiga with a Blizzard 1230-IV again just for fun to see how fast I can get it with OS3.9

What you have to do is to take the logical approach here and keep in mind how much work programming and hardware developping actually takes.
