I've just sent my support email to Chris Hodges. Have you?
« on: November 01, 2007, 05:04:55 PM »
Hi folks...

We've read a lot about what happened a few days ago with Chris H. I think this is a really BIG loss as Chris in my opinion is one of the best developers left in the Amiga "scene". This is even more sad considering the rest of developers who gave him support like Piru (a great developer too) and decided to leave. I just sent a support email to Chris and I'm pretty sure that if we as users show him some support, he might reconsider his decision because simply, we can't afford this.

Just my two cents,

Dragster.

Just a small clarification, I've given up my AOS developments years ago already (for example the BlizKick final release was made without even having any real Amiga HW set up).

My Amiga SW page will probably reappear soon.

Just to make this absolutely clear: Yes, I am continuing my work on MorphOS.

Damn shame that we have lost another Amiga developer.  What did I miss though.  Is there a link to an incident somewhere, or has anyone written down what happened to cause Chris H. to walk away from Amiga development?

@Piru,

How is MorphOS doing these days?  Are there still many developers working on it?  Is there anything you can tell us about hardware for MorphOS for the future.  I want to install the MOS on PowerUP on one of my A4000Ts that has a CyberStorm 604e @233mHz within the next two weeks as I get sorted out more.  Is MOS on PowerUP still free?  I liked what little I have seen of MorphOS and I am thinking that maybe I would like to compare it to AmigaOS 4.0, but I am not sure I really want to buy AmigaOS4.0 from anyone after reading some of the crap that has gone on in the past.

Yes but seeing your site vanishing without a comment (only with "Bye" on it) looked like a "never look back" bye. Good to have you still around.
