Either the community just doesn't care anymore, or a lot of people don't like me personally. I don't think this is somewhere I fit in anymore, if I ever did. I'm not ready for the old folks home yet.


Or maybe there's another option: not enough time to spare among a busy life? :) Although I'm not exactly sure how the "not like you option" fits in there. Are you sure you're not taking this all a little too seriously? Just puttin' that out for thought.

Just wanted to interject. Time for this old fart to nod off again... Now, get off my lawn!

I'm sorry if I take this Amiga stuff seriously, I don't have much else in my life. It's important to me, and I've wanted for years to make new software and games for Amiga systems. It's been my dream for so long, and holding onto that dream is the only thing that keeps me going.


I don't think anyone is concerned about you being serious about the Amiga, we're only concerned that you might be taking it _too_ seriously. There's a fine line between those two positions, but you have to put it all into perspective: what the Amiga once was, what it is now, and what it could be again (against all odds) some day.

Just some thoughts...

The problem is that the Amiga platform is the only "retro" platform that hasn't (in terms of its users) fully come to terms with its death yet.  Some of us still believe... or if not believe then fantasise... that the Amiga could come back.  

Nor does it help any that McEwen Inc, others and now Commodore USA continue to want to milk those fantasies...
