Congratulations Wayne. I've been here for around five of those years, so the site can't be too bad :-) (actually, it's my favourite Amiga newsy site)
Re: Darreck. I recognised the name as soon as I read it, but couldn't recall anything else (but then I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday). If he has done all you say, then that's great. Certainly things were buzzing and moving fast with AI under Gateway - or least appearing to - and a lot of interest in the Amiga was generated. Something which the current AI have failed to replicate, but it is better to ensure the there is a product out first especially considering all the non-starters of the last ten years (or however long it has been now - I've lost count).
Here's to the next year and an AmigaOne with OS4 (or a Pegasos with MorphOS, but personally I'll be going for the former) :pint:
Hmm.. that should be a wine glass but you get the idea.
