haha...  I just popped on because MagicM stopped by Whyzzat.com when I noticed this thread.  I was all like "Washington/Baltimore meetup?, heck yeah", when I noticed the 2013 date of the original post...
 
 So is this still a thing?  I might be able to drag the new wife along and subject her to the old ways if someone lets me know when and where..

So, you're in the D.C. area now? Still using an Amiga? Hope all's well.

Yes, and no.  I've been up in the NoVa area (specifically up in Ashburn near Dulles International) for about 5 years now, but no, I haven't owned or played with Amigas for years.  

Redrumloa posted something about a "new Amiga" on Whyzzat but until there's a usable OS, I just don't understand the point.  As I said over there, you could have a multi-CPU, 10tHz computer with like Petabytes of storage and RAM and it's all irrelevant without a modern, user-friendly OS...  (This is the same point that got me thrown out of the inner circle when I brought it up with Amiga Inc over a decade ago)...

Still, it'd be great to actually get together with some of the legendary old-timers from Amiga.org sometime...

I'm just sitting here looking at the site which hasn't been updated in a decade wishing I could somehow get it back...  hahaha....

I never imagined for a single second that when I sold Amiga.org to Bill and Ted all those years ago, that Amiga.org would still be sitting here completely untouched from an upgrade or maintenance perspective...

I wish I had the ability to jump back in because I would save what's here but get AO back to it's roots of being a great forum first, everything else second.  When I created the mass CF that Amiga.org currently is, I just thought "hey, that looks neat" and slapped things like links, images, groups, and every other add-on I could find into place.  

A decade later and lessons learned, Amiga.org could have been so much more...
