The 'news' on amiga.de is Chris responding publicly to his version of events with someone called 'PAB'.  Basically, this PAB character questioned whether TLSBMem patched the classic Amiga system routines, to which Chris answered yes and then PAB made the unfounded accusation the code would significantly slow down the system and Chris answered not really as the Amiga cpus are slow to begin with so you'd notice a slowdown if that were true, so then PAB launched a tertiary attack on the type of algorithms used and Chris retaliated with a demonstration of PAB's mistakes as to algorithms, code and such and said PAB has been studying for 10 years already and obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

A second (last?) post by Chris says he's fed up it's not worth it trying to educate people who don't understand, life's too short, etc. and farewell.

The thing that pisses me off is I have three now useless (in the non-supported sense) copies of Poseidon (two that came with Subways I recently purchased from Amigakit and a third full license I bought directly from Platon because I think he has a good product and want to show support).  It's looking like another Miami affair when Holger up and left after some idiots accused him of putting backdoors into his programs and started pirating his keyfiles.

This also points up an Amiga rule I should have followed - GET IT WHILE YOU CAN. I have 2 new Subway boards sitting behind me with no access to the latest drivers. And no TLM memory patch to hack with.


That's exactly the boat a lot of us are in right now.  The thing is, by buying a couple Subways and other software coded by Chris I feel we have contributed.  So why is he quitting on us (his customers) now?  Tell me it isn't because someone who never paid for nor will ever pay for any of his products insults him?  I don't get it.
