April 27th 2003 will constitute the 8th year that I, and my local user group (NASAU) has run this site for the Amiga community.
As with most old rollercoasters, the ride started out to be a lot of fun but has grown to a point where we feel like we're being jerked around harder and harder by fast, short hills near the end.
After discussing it with a few friends, we've decided that there's no reason at the current time to close this site, so we renewed for one more year.
Hopefully by the time our 9th anniversary rolls around, someone (Amiga? Genesi? Eyetech? Hyperion? Bueller? Bueller?) will have built the brakes for the rollercoaster by actually producing a real replacement solution for the classic desktop. After all, our hardware isn't getting any younger.
I just wish I had thought earlier to ask for a donation of prizes from our retail friends so we could have some sort of contest to spike the interest around here.
