Do you plan to spend more time on your other Amiga projects.

I hope to. I'm certainly not expecting to leave the Amiga scene, and this should mean I have more time for other projects.

BTW, if you're thinking of AmiPodder, I do have a new version in beta (it has been for some time). If all goes to plan that should be out in the next month.

Truely sad news, really enjoyed Total Amiga - been a subscriber ever since the last edition of Clubbed.

@Rhino and TA team
Thank-you soooooo much for your hard work over the years, for making my train journies more interesting and for publishing some of my articles. TA was truely a great piece of work and I appreciate all the time you've put into this.

@All
Kudos to the lads I think, they found a way to honor existing subscriptions so it ain't all doom and gloom.

Spose I'd better read 25 and 26 even slower...

Hello

>I hope Amiga Future will continue with the Canadian printing of the North American issues.

No. The Mag are printing in the same company here what print the german version.

We have a contract with the german post office that we can send the Amiga Future worldwide for the same price as in europe.

btw. we search more translaters for the mag.

any more question? ask :)

Have you considered working with Alinea computer. According to their jobs page it looks like they want someone with your experience.

That is good news for the people outside of Europe.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Robert,

This leaves me feeling sad.

Thank you for the dedication. Along with this website, Total Amiga has been my primary source for Amiga news. I am similarly sad that Rogue isn't participating with his characteristic flair and candor in forum discussions anymore. Call me paranoid; but there is a creeping feeling that various Amiga information channels are dissolving for some reason.

I can't help but wonder if these decisions to retreat by Amigans much higher in the Amiga food chain than I am (yourself included) are due to some knowledge about the current Amiga situation that is particularly disheartening, something that has driven them to close up shop or to at least detach signifigantly from the community. Have you learned something about the principals (Amiga Inc., Hyperion, Eyetech, etc.) that caused you to throw up your hands and call it quits? Or perhaps it's just that the long Amiga winter we are all enduring is finally and inexorably wearing people down. Of course, maybe it's simply that you have other goals and other dreams to pursue.

Was there no one willing or interested to take the helm at Total Amiga? Did you recruit for a replacement? Or did you not want to see the publication morph into something else under someone else's direction? I am confident Amiga Future will be a great alternative source of information. But how long until it too closes its doors and shutters its windows? And will we ever really know why? It is so hard to fight the pessimism these days. I guess all of that would change if we could purchase non pre-release hardware with Amiga OS4 Final installed on it.

Anyway, I really enjoyed Total Amiga. Ironically, I would have paid more for it (as I suspect would others) if I had ever ben asked to do so. But apparently money was not the issue.

Thank you for all you did. and I'm glad to hear you will still be working on Amiga related projects.

Sincerely,

Dan Newsome (Noose)

as a contributor to Total Amiga & the current chairman of SEAL, I really would like to thank everyone for their heart-felt comments.

Total Amiga was the reason I got back into the Amiga Scene, joined SEAL, dusted off my Amiga 4000, then brought an AmigaOne.

I would personally and publicly like to thank Robert (& Mick) for producing such an inspiring magazine during such difficult times.

As Robert has said, this doesn't mean that we are exiting the Amiga Scene, you ain't that lucky!

Once again, thank you.

Thanks for your hard work, Robert and all writers.

Reading TA was a real pleasure.

I like its huge number of pages, its design, and articles content (always interesting).

Hope that you will come back stronger after a few months.

Glames

Just to say thanks for the great mag and all the hard work you all put in for so many years - real dedication!

Looking forward to Amiga Future.

@all (UK at least) Don`t forget there is still a weekly Amiga column in Mico Mart mag. written by Sven Harvey and its quite an Amiga friendly mag even though its mostly PC (what isn`t?). They print pictures of reader`s dives and Windows crashing in public places and if I remember one week a photo of a reader`s cat!

Total Amiga you`ll be sorely missed!

All the best for the future.

Andy.

PS I don`t work for Micro Mart - just a fan.

This IS a sad day for Amiga indeed as it gets dealt yet another blow.

I very much looked forward to and enjoyed every issue of TA and will be sad to see it go, but in all honesty, seeing as I was preparing to move on after Q1 07 came and went without any news regarding any progress between Hyperion and Amiga Inc. or news of a HW license having been granted to some HW manufacturer, I was debating whether I should renew my subscription or not and was most likely not going to, but certainly not meant in any way as a comment on the fine magazine that TA has become over the years.

Many thanks go out to the editor, all of the staff members and all of those that contributed fine articles over the years, for helping to keep some level of excitement and some sense of cohesiveness in this otherwise fractured and ever dwindling community.

Cheers!

Thank you very much for such a great magazine. You've kept that Amiga Flame burning throughout the years.

All the best,

Try reading the FAQ on the Total Amiga web site - it answers most of your questions.

I've enjoyed TA and wish it were continuing, although no surprise to see that isn't. Thanks to all who have been involved, and I hope to see your work continue, perhaps in Amiga Future..

A very sad day indeed.

To all the TA team - thanks for producing such a great mag, and thanks again for the arrangement you've made with Amiga Future. I've been subscribing to both for a while, now, and I've always enjoyed reading them. It's good to see an English copy coming out.

Question - any chance of another Archive CD of these last few issues?

I will ask Robert if he would be interested in doing an archive CD for issues 21 to 26, we are still in total (pun) control of all back issues and the archive CD's.

You did an outstanding job and we hate to see you go!!!
