Nate's a good guy, he was just stating his mind. IMO they probably picked him for the simple fact his vote probably was the only one that didn't say "F***ING CROOKS BASTARD SHEEP SHAGGING BLAH BLAH BLAH".


Exactly my thoughts. (As a side note, I didn't nominate AOS4 or write anything about it to Wired myself, so that's one less "F***ING CROOKS WAAH WAAH"... ;))

The frenzy they're whipping themselves into over at the True Amigan(TM) Protective Quarantine right now is sort of cute. Now they found the obligatory strawman and scapegoat. Kinda Let's ignore that he's right, he works for The Other Side, and Wired was probably payed to publish a quote from HIM and only HIM. Come to think of it, Wired was probably PAYED to reward AOS4 a place this year, because there's no way that anybody but Nate Downes would nominate AOS4... No way.

:P

Nate is right, and it's sad that he's right. Was he supposed to try to hide reality just to be what Bouma likes to call "constructive"?


A bit funny though that Wired themselves seem to think that there will be "next generation Amiga machines". But hey, I think some old crap about "new Amigas" is still to be found somewhere on amiga.com, so It Must Be True.

Rants & Raves

Yay. Sense prevails. Or something... :P

SIgh. Well, I guess the "community" is lucky that Wired didn't pick an even more embarrassing "rant & rave" than that, or indeed an even more acerbic comment than Nate's to the Vaporware Award nominations. I'm sure there was no shortage of either kind.
