Pity he spent so much of the last years of his life on such a crap company. My condolences to his family.

and by this Amiga.org has lowered its moral standard and decency to a new record low.
Are you kidding me? By Aorg standards this thread is comically respectful. If you don't like that not everybody is pretending that they never had any differences with the man just because he died (sad as it was,) well, we can either be honest but respectful, or engage in faked fawning. Which would you prefer, really?

(Besides, this thread hasn't even touched the inappropriacy of some of the things Barry himself said to people on this forum.)
