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.

And Hakim wept... : Comment 26 of 31 | ANN.lu |
Posted by alan buxey on 03-Mar-2003 18:13 GMT | ..sorry to say (and this does occasionally happen) but I agree with Neko.
if we had a thread on Ann.lu for each person who said they were leaving...well! there'd not even be a chance to see any real news or info on this list.
people go. fact of life. people leave many scenes. some people also arrive...or join the online community. My A1200 is still online
and working for me.
the reason why theres so many silly arguments is that everyone is hanging around doing nothing. and, just like in real life.... idle hands make work for the devil.... once the new systems are here, i'm sure quite a few people
will start to become productive again. if not, then they're just sad losers
who have nothing better to do in life ;-)
