All I was getting at earlier is just that people are realising microsoft windows isn't the only way, or the way to go and that there are better options out there, if one only cares to explore and learn.

I know that's what you meant, and I hope you are incorrect when you say this is the part of Amiga.org that's "on the rise."

I've occasionaly gone to Amiga.org in years past, and been really turned off from it becuase it's so pro-Linix, and assumes an Ani-Microsoft attitude is ingrained in every user, etc.

I'm not interested in any of that.

I want to talk with 68K Amiga users, collectors, and gamers from the old days.

No, but 'cause it's a good game people hold onto them ;-)

I'd say those looking for alternatives to Windows are maybe 1/3rd of new members.  For those who never went away from the Amiga platform it's not really 'retro' is it?

You should get a lot of that here. I'm sure there's a few old Amigan's in Seattle, too. I know of one, for sure (it's not me, though :-)).
