Northwest Amiga Group calls it quits.
« on: January 17, 2006, 12:14:42 AM »
After twenty long years as the oldest Amiga User Group, and just a few short months after our anniversary, Northwest Amiga Group has decided to disband.

Northwest Amiga Group was founded by Bill Seymour (and a couple other nice folks) in June 1985. "NAG" was established and registered as "Commodore User Group #00001" by Commodore in 1986.

We are all saddened by this event, but lack of user support and lack of official Amiga product development over the past ten years has brought us to the point we can no longer sustain ourselves as a User Group.

We thank everyone for their long support, and our websites will be active fro several more years to everyone. The past few years of our World renowned Northwest Amiga Journal has been digitized and is avaible to the public, including many past issues dating back to 1988. Please visit and download them in PDF and other formats at:
http://journal.nwamiga.com

All my best to our supporters over the years, and all the many people I now consider good friends via past Amiga events.

Todd, et al.

Please allow me to extend both my thanks for your herculean longevity with the user group efforts (and newsletter) as well as my condolences for its' closure.

In the days of the Internet, with information being so readily available, it is getting harder and harder for user groups of any kind to exist, and that's an incredibly sad thing, as we just don't get the same quality of sharing online.

I wish you, and all the members of the nwamiga group the best in the future.  Hopefully, you'll still be around in some form or another for a while?
