@Wayne:

It's a club magazine, that's why it is only available to club members. Important announcements are not exclusive to club members, nor is the weekly Q&A session with Fleecy, so it's quite possible to get information from them without paying for it.

Why are you trying so hard to insult us? I'm not blind, I'm not blond, and I cheer for whoever I choose to. I don't deserve being patronized, nor does the other Club Amiga members. :-x

If it's any comfort, you're no longer the only person feeling depressed. Well done. :-(

Sorry, I just think you come across as somewhat condescing to the people who don't share your (IMO) blind hatred towards AInc. Sometimes it ticks me off. Anyway, glad you didn't mean it that way.

Wow, you sure have written a lot of things which *almost* makes sense since I last dropped in. Your reasoning isn't too bad, but I don't quite agree with some of the premises you base it on. For example, you seem to think that the lack of the bloody T-shirt (damn I'm tired of the whining about the T-shirt) and the coupon is something permanent, while I think it is something which will be resolved as AInc's financial situation improves. Time will tell who is right. Anyway, following up on all of this is too much work for me, and I can't really be arsed with it anymore. I'll just say this:
*I think your hatred towards Amiga Inc is about as blind as the support from me and the other Club Amiga members.
*In time we'll hopefully know who was right. For now, I'll continue to support AInc, Hyperion, Eyetech and all the other companies which are attempting to revive the Amiga platform. I do this out of my own free will, and according to my own best judgement.

> The difference is really whether you fit into the 20%, or the 60%...

Heh, I refuse to be in either group, as I don't agree with the categorization at all. Specifically:
* I don't agree with the relative sizes of the partitions.
* I don't agree with the way they are defined. In my opinion, the absolute opponents are just as blind as the absolute proponents.
* I don't quite agree with where you've placed yourself. :-P (Sorry, that's my opinion)

Categorize this if you must:
* I am not particularly impressed with what they've achieved so far.
* I am not particularly appalled either.
* I think they are doing their best under difficult circumstances.
* I see no need to make their circumstances worse.
* Based on what little communication I've had with them, they seem to be nice people.
* They seem to have the approximately the same goals as I do, thus I want them to succeed.
* I firmly believe in the saying "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness" (a Norwegian proverb, don't know if there is an English equivalent).
