Yes, that is it greenboy.  Amiga can mean "friends" too...;-)  The Alternate OS market is bigger in total and this could draw in a few more subscriptions from PowerPC oriented communities.  Naturally, the foundational concepts come, as this site, from the AmigaOS of the former Commodore Business Machines, but a broader mindset would benefit all involved.  

We will be very happy to support the magazine and feel like we ought to offer this to new Pegasos II owners.

Great!

R&B  :-)

WIth the principle of try before you buy, I ####ume (jeez you can't say A S S U M E ) the first issue is free, downloadable PDF?

Maybe all of the issues are free downloadable PDFs?

Hey, you the benefactor there then? :-)
Hate figure. :lol:

We would like to be one of them if we can!

P.S.  Where were you this weekend?!  We had a great game of PegPong on ANN and you would have made undoubtedly excellent contributions!  :-)

Hi Bill,

I was in hospital having a tumour removed from my stomach and then sleeping it off.

It seems too late to join the party, perhaps another time.

Dave.

This should be cool - a print magazine that allows contributions for all the Amigacentric platforms!


Are you saying that Total Amiga, created on Amithlon, and which has regular contributions from MorphOSland, doesn't? :-?

@greenboy

sorry, but your original statement implies that print magazines covering all amigacentric solutions don't exist, which is why I asked.

Neat. Printed magazine with real paper pages. It's been a long time I
have ordered one... I'm waiting for more info. .


Sorry JoannaK, But what exactly have we been doing at Total Amiga Magazine for the last few years?

Printing a Magazine on ether? BTW in case you didn`t know, we too also welcome contributions

Aside from all that good luck to Kees, well done on securing funding for your magazine.

Allright Kees!

 Congratulations for getting this new Amiga/PPC related mag off the ground! It is very exciting. I can tell you that many people want another mag available MONTHLY. It takes forever for Total Amiga - which I enjoy btw. Your logo looks great.
Good luck

@Mikey_C

Some people have incorrect perceptions of Total Amiga magazine. I've noticed that almost all of them have never read it, which probably explains the prejudice.

BTW, I've seen you in flesh dude, and you don't look anything like that avatar.

IT WAS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO TROLL

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Amigans are TOO FRICKIN' used to WANTING to see spaceships (and other cigar-shaped objects) where they are not - and too used to playing the same type of game from the other angle to believe that everybody else isn't into that game.

It's a cigar, dammit! ;  }
