So indeed can a moderator please close this topic as I won't be bullied into a childish fight?


Sounds like a plan to me.

Sometimes I wonder if so many Amiga users, who constantly proselytize about the Amiga's inherently great multimedia capabilities, wouldn't be happier with a green screen and CP/M.

It's 2008 for crying out loud.


/me puts hand up

Yes I am happier with my Televideo TS-803H. Actually I've posted to Amiga.org on one of my CP/M systems before :crazy:

I don't speak for Wayne obviously, so this is just my opinion. Wayne's opinion may vary by a wide margin.

My 2 cents worth: This site is dedicated to and about Amiga, it should always be usable by real Amigas, even if our numbers have fallen somewhat. Those with "modern" computers and OSes can go anywhere on the net without hindrance. It's telling that the other 90% of user's choose to come here, says a lot about the quality of this site and the community here.


I appreciate what you are saying in theory, but in practice it is extremely impractical. Think about it, it is now 2008 and historical Amiga browsers are built on mid 90's technology. I am a huge retro fan, I use my Commodore 128 all the time. However, it would be silly to expect C= forums like Commodore128.org and Lemon64 to make their sites friendly to C64/128 native web browsers. Web technology moves on while our ancient orphaned platforms do not.
