Would like to say Nathan is one of the good guys in Amiga land. I've had some delays when dealing with him and we've had the odd joke via email about it.

He makes some great hardware and at real prices unlike other items that I've seen. Sure communication isn't the best but then I can imagine it's quite stressful, to me his reputation, products have been a bigger success than he may of originally thought.

It's kind of grown more into something that could become a full time business rather than a hobby.

I'm assuming an extra pair of hands would be great? A shame I don't have the skills to help in some way.

Anyway ease up on Nathan, he'll get around to your order I'm sure. He's not a liar as some people have put it, he's a stand up guy trying to do his best.

Keep up the good work Nathan it would be a sad day that you stop making such great hardware, you are a true asset.

I think leaving the guy alone and let him get on with it. There's no scam going on here, he's had some problems and he's doing the best he can to set things straight.

It would be a shame to loose Nathan from the community, the prices and hardware top notch.

Hope he is okay, he was having health issues. Had many a good conversation with him via email.

Nathan is a straight up person who is just a one man band who was over whelmed by the number of orders.

However his current behavior is not normal, and he was unwell for sometime I just hope that nothing serious has happened to him.

True depression is hard to describe, as Cammy has said it's something that cripples you mentally.

Just looking at your inbox with hundreds and hundreds of email would be impossible for someone who was truly depressed.

I was going to say more about it but it's getting far to close to home for me.

There are extenuating circumstances here, give the guy a break. :whack:

Sometimes people can't see it from another persons point of view. I know that they're angry that they have lost money.

I've lost money purchasing items online a couple of times.

Nathan when I dealt with him was a straight up and honest guy, if he made a promise he stuck to it.

We had the odd joke via email too. But I never gave him a hard time just a good razzing.

Aussies :-P

Anyway he changed a lot towards the end of our emails back and forth. Not the same Nathan that's for sure.

If I had his number I might give him a call.

I'd say he has had to put all out of the Amiga scene and deal with his "real life" problems.

He may come back once he's sorted himself out one never knows. He's was not out to scam or lie I think the promises he has broken was caused by his depression.

The sad thing is not a lot of people take true depression as a serious illness. Just be glad you haven't experienced it, as you never truly get out of the hole.

Take each day as it comes is my motto :-)
