Hey,
Just thought I would see if Amiga.org was back up. I tried to log in in June to post* but saw that the site was down.

*A great friend to the Amiga (and video gaming) community, Syd Bolton passed away in June of this year. I knew Syd for almost 20 years. He sold me my second Amiga, an A2000 that I had for a few years and eventually parted out and sold here in 2006 (IIRC). For the last few years he operated the PC Museum here in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, which housed computers, video game systems and all sorts of other related goodies. https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/syd-bolton-computer-and-video-game-collector-dies-at-age-46-1.3970732 (https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/syd-bolton-computer-and-video-game-collector-dies-at-age-46-1.3970732) I am sure there are other people here on Amiga.org who knew Syd. He was a great guy and died way too soon.

Sorry Pete! I didn't know Syd but I'm sure he's in Amiga Heaven!

Sorry Pete. Anyone know Syd?
