Well good luck on bringing this mottley crew of Amiga.org back together again, who knows you might actually give these guys a direction to bring back the excitement of the Amiga computer, you have a long hard road with these guys because they can't and won't agree on anything.

You at least have something going, a designed computer that works, a bit expensive for my blood, but it is a start and something the Amiga commuinty desperately needed, all the other designs I looked at where of old vintage.

Once again good luck, wish you best in your endeavors with the Amiga computer.

We need the excitement back.

@AmigaDave,

Oh no,

They made you a moderator, the blind truly are leading the blind, tell me did you ever get a real computer or are you still using that Big Blue.
I just can not believe this AmigaDave as a Moderator, what will Amiga Org think of next?

Historically, One of the most popular ways to get threads *quickly removed out of people's sight*, was to have a few controlled people posting several Off Topic posts in a thread. This rendered a "valid" reason for a moderator to remove the thread altogether as "off topic".

"could you at least choose a more stylish one?" *IS* off topic. And this could render moderators as "Amigadave" to delete..., well, whatever in the thread, according to his perceived view of... well, maybe "decency"? Fairness?

Maybe this was your intention?

/me putting on a *thicker* tin foil hat, the last one obviously didn't work!

I think hubcaps look good on cars to, but only if it is a Chevy. Did you ever notice when people talk about Fords, they start referring to Plymouths and if a Corvette is fast what does that make a Mustang?

and besides

I like chocolate cookies too!!
