I called him.
He is alive and well.
He is not participating in the Zombie Apocalypse prerelease. He is waiting for the full version release on December 21, 2012.
His Micro A1 is dead so he can't get on the net.
He thinks it is gfx chip related. He said he can't just plug in a PCI gfx card because the A1 has a buggy PCI bus.
He found a local repair guy who will try to fix it. I donno what the odds are on it getting fixed. I don't have much hope so I think it will be quite a long time before he comes back online.
He didn't seem to miss the internet very much until I called him. Then he started getting excited about the Amiga community so I think his motivation to return to the scene has now been quadrupled.
if you speak with him anytime soon, let him know i have a spare SAM440ep-flex system i'd be happy to loan him gratis. it may not be as quick as his micro A1, but it's rock solid stable. if you want, PM me with his contact info and i can give him a call to see if he wants to borrow it. maybe i could use it as a bribe for him to attend next year's amiwest. :laugh1:
