I was sat next to Francois at Amiga30UK for a while and he is a really nice chap. I was pretty starstruck.
He has to understand he is like a God in the UK - we all love him and we all love AMOS here. My first introduction to AMOS was the AMOSPro coverdisk of Amiga Format. I purchased AMOSPro last year from Ebay just to get that wonderful manual in my hand (and I do collect software I like). There were millions of AMOS clubs in the UK in the 90's - he was and is famous in Amiga circles over here. Top man, lovely chap - bless him.
