A lot of Toaster owners did know and were very nice. No donations were collected though. The NewTek community is a great bunch. Products are available from NewTek for that community which is nice.

And why not trust DFX ? They've been good to Amiga now and in the past too.

You seem to live in your own dream world. Amiga isn't going to be "back for
the future." That's a clichee it was something that we hoped on 10 years ago.
It's not relevant anymore.

My advice: Open your eyes already.

At least if AI goes to the trouble of putting on a good show (hopefully produced with a toaster 4000 and fx from discreetfx) that would show they are actually doing something. What have they done recently aside from an open letter to the community? AI we want to see what your working on! Show me it's not vapour ware! I want a new amiga because I don't know how much longer my A2000 is going to keep running. Sorry about that. I just got a little verklempt.

@all
On a side note, does anyone have some cliff notes on the 3 pages I missed after logging off yesterday?

And who is that member then. If he has any problems he/she can PM any of the staff.

Any further questions about moderation you may have ask them in a PM as by the rules set out in the TOS. Thanks.

If there is nothing to moderate... well, discretion, valour... make a cliché with it, ok?

Kind regards, Yo

I believe its been suggested to you before but it sounds like the site you really may want to be on is www.amigans.net

Moderation is much heavier (IMO), its more pro Amiga Inc. in general (IMO), though even there some voices of dissent are starting to show.

I'm not by any means telling you where you should post or anything. Just from your frustrated tone (as I read it) I think its a site you might want to at least consider. And of course nothing says you can't post at both. But I'm quite sure you'll find more like-minded folks over there.


P.S. No reply to our discussion on revenue (that you started)?

Where do you get this false information from?

The site is full people that use AmigaOS4 every day on there AmigaOne’s thanks to Hyperion and Eyetech, not Amiga Inc, most people on that site just won’t Hyperion to win, and mess to cleaned as quickly as possible,

NO SITE I KNOW IS PRO AMIGA INC!

AMIGA INC HAS ANNOUNCED TO MANY THINGS, WHIT DOING ANY THING, NO ONE BELIEVE WHAT AMIGA INC HAS TO SAY, NOT ON AMIGA.ORG, NOT ON AMIGAWORLD.NET NOT ON AMIGANS.NET, AMIGA INC IS JOKE ON OSNEWS.

Ok, let's just rephrase that sentence, they are not pro Amiga Inc they are just anti anything that isn't AmigaOS 4
