Greetings from Amiga;

This message has been a long time coming, but with the recent announcements of new hardware and the manufacturing to begin shortly we wanted to let all of you know that you will still be able to receive your Club Amiga discount.

The new hardware is expected to be available this summer, and we will be sending out further instructions shortly on how to redeem your discount and use it for the purchase of your new system.

For those of you who have already purchased an AmigaOne system from Eyetech, please locate any receipt that you may have for the machine.   If that is not possible then we will work with each of you so that you can also receive what is due you for your purchase and faith in Amiga.

Typical legal closing stuff..........    :rtfm:

At this point like everyone else, I wrote off my money a LONG TIME AGO.... And to be completely honest, I've kind of lost the faith and moved on from Amiga. Too many lost hopes and broken dreams dashed on the jagged rocks when the great platform I once knew had finally sank deep into the abyss of obsolescence. I finally sold my good old A4000 Toaster/Flyer about a year ago on ebay.. I was heart broken at the time and it took months of therapy and 12 step program AUA (Amiga Users Anonymous) to finally get over it :lol:

Anyway, I thought I would pass this on and see if it was real.

Thanks
