I did my part. I helped Olaf Barthel with RoadShow and I did other things that I won't mention since I don't want get them "dirty" with the resignation that closes this message. Resignation because I am watching a dream falling down. Not my dream, a greater one. The one of a community of different people, fair and friendly, of people who support and respect members. Once upon a time Amiga was that, now it's not anymore.

The slow march into oblivion for Amiga continues and is hastened by the current actions of the principal companies in control of the Amiga future.  More and more Amiga users are driven to the point of "I just don't care anymore".

Sad, so very sad that it has come to this and continues to drag on in this unproductive direction.

Also sad that the Amiga story became one of what "Could have been" so early in its lifespan.  Long before even the bankruptcy of Commodore almost all of us were lamenting about what could have become of the Amiga and saying "If Only Commodore Had ............"

I will continue to use and enjoy my collection of Amigas for the rest of my life, just for the fun of it.  I too have long ago given up hope for any amazing developments from Amiga Inc. or any other company that is working on an Amiga like operating system with propietary hardware.

Not that it excites me, but with all this trouble for Amiga Inc. and Hyperion, it will probably give the MorphOS and AROS developers a small boost as more Amiga users look for an alternative.

end rant
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
