This is lame. I could see getting a bounty started for a developer but anything less than a developer is a waste. Artists are a dime a dozen, programming talent is rare, especially programming talent who would even bother messing around with this stuff.
I like the look of his work in web design and some of his artwork, but I too am more interested in supporting, promoting, and helping out existing and potential software developers. I am glad that there were enough people that felt differently and were quick to open their wallets to fill the donation requested. I think they had the amount they wanted in less than 24 hours, which is pretty impressive in these bad economic times, as the price of a SAM460 system is not a trivial amount.
Congrats DjNick on your soon to be ordered SAM460. I hope it brings many hours of productive work and projects for all OS4.x users.
Small wonder that they posted it on a different site, after your remarks about what you would do with A.org if you had some cash and the trademark for the Amiga name. That one got you in some hot water with many people here and in the existing Amiga community. Maybe you can make some artwork for the users of original Commodore Amigas too, to reduce their hurt feelings. After all, they have at least as much rights to the name Amiga as any other faction of these communities. I don't see interest in the original 68k Amiga ever completely going away, and I don't think it should.
I am very much looking forward to the Natami project getting to the point where the hardware is completely finished and they start selling boards, or complete systems to more than just beta testers. I think it will be great to have a 68k Amiga system that is capable of running 2 to 4 times faster in almost every way than my 68060 A4000. Brilliant that they have created a new blitter that is multiple times faster than the original Amiga blitter and have also increased the speed and features of the AGA chipset. It is a great project and I hope that they can get it far enough along to release to the public within the next 6 months (it will take me that long to save up enough money to buy one, after my purchase of one of the "First Contact" X1000 systems later this month).
Sorry for going off topic and congrats again for the success of your bounty project for the SAM460 system.
