Garry Hare No longer at Amiga Inc.

[Cymric]

And perhaps we should leave it at that before the incendiary remarks get to the point of full throttle flamewars. I can sum up this entire discussion in 4 words: who. gives. a. {bleep}. It's no longer our concern what happens at AI, KMOS, AI, or whatever the vultures want to call themselves nowadays, we established that eons ago.

Let the past be the past, cherish your memories (in sofar that is possible), and MOVE ON!

Where is the fun in that. Mr Hare and those £50 dreams just are that and its a sad sign that I'm a grown up now and that ageless computing seems to be a thing of the past.

It is very important for you to realise that the Amiga was in all aspects new to you. Many of the technologies employed are to be found in other systems too---often quite extended, but at the core still very recognisable. That sense of discovery is therefore now lost to you. Unless you begin anew with things you didn't have on your Amiga. For example, proper threading. Parsing. 3d graphics. Virtual machines. I've encountered many subjects where you can play to your hearts content, and as an added bonus do not have to worry about the underlying hardware anymore because it is (mostly) irrelevant. I suggest you look around, do some reading, and delve in. You'll recapture that feeling of discovery soon enough.
