Sorry to double post, but looking at that picture of the office, reminded me of a time long ago when I went to a user group meeting, I only really went to one, and it was for the Atari ST rather than the Amiga, but the people were much like the Amiga users (really, I think most of them were like me, who loved the Atari 8-bits, then mistakenly thought that the ST was the the next step, when years later, I now know that the Amiga was really the second generation Amiga and the C64 was the first generation of the ST... )
But there all the computers set up, and people all talking about how cool their computers were, and swapping demos, etc.
Now come to present times, the user groups are more or less gone (I think there are still some occasional Linux User Groups), but they all have generic PCs, and with the exception of using a 'nerd' OS (which isn't so nerdy anymore) you just don't get that same vibe of friendship.
What we need is some sort of coding competition. Nokia would sponsor them for the Maemo and MeeGo platforms, I think A-Eon should try to sponsor some, you know maybe instead of giving away money, give away Amiga related stuff, shirts, mice, mousepads, something.
Or perhaps the Natami group. Just throwing out some ideas about the future development of our beloved platform.
