Hi

Stop living in the past, start living today ;-)

Even if Commodore died 10 years ago, my Amiga is still living and better equiped than ever. It is even more intensive used than ever.

Can't wait until AmigaOs 4.0 is on the market, I will buy an AmigaOne as soon as I can get the money.

Hoya!

Erk, TEN years! Time does fly, indeed.

Thank you Commodore for all the GOOD things you did.

F*ck you Commodore for all the BAD things you did.

Thank you Jay Miner for having thought this fantastic piece of computer engineering.

Thank you to Dave Haynie for all your work.

Also thank you to YOU the Amiga Community for being a bunch of godamn mavericks, sometimes annoying, sometimes funny, but ALWAYS funky! :afro:

Also than you to Wayne for setting up this site. :pint:

Amiga? "Fluctuat Nec Mergitur" ;-)

Be funky

Nah, Commodore is not "dead"... There are too many die hards around the planet!

These ten years feel like ten months...

I still have my Developers Application Package in the original envelope from Commodore Westchester postmarked during the last week of April 1994. It's in storage, however I seem to remember that it was sent out almost the exact day they went bankrupt. Probably one of the last things they mailed out :-). Needless to say I never did fill it out and submit it.

Hoya!

Wow! It is a collector's thing now! ;-)

Just like the "I am Amiga Club" t-shirts in a couple years...

Funny coincidence about this fact. I got my AmigaForever 6.0 today and sat and watched the Commodore Deathbed Vigil (again). Every time I watch that I feel lousy (honest, I get a stomach ache). To think what Commodore could have done if the people in charge knew what they were doing. :pissed:

I gotta go take some antacid... :-o

Hoya!

I guess I must buy this video one of these days.
It is a classic but I have never seen it!

Gosh! 10 years have passed already!
I was only 8 years old back then but I still
remember reading about the whole thing in
Pixel (a Greek Amiga magazine). It had an
image of a funeral of all the Amigas in the
front cover. That was quite a sad time. :-(

[grafos]

Wow! What did you just reminded of! I was travelling to Xanthi from Crete for my holidays, and as I was strolling through Thessaloniki's streets, the dreaded Pixel's cover with the amigas and the graves came to my attention. That was quite a shock!

Can't believe it was so many years ago, I was 15 back then, but it seems like yesterday! I still have that Pixel issue hidden somewhere in my parents' house in Crete. Pixel (arguably the greatest greek computing mag ever) died a slow death (it's hard to survive when you constantly trash the ever-popular PC's), some years later, as did all the great amiga-loving mags I used to read.

[AmiGR]

I still have that issue as well. I just think that
the front cover has been torn off and is lost somewhere in the chaos of my Amiga magazines! :-)

[AmiGR]

BTW, I'll move to the UK for studies in 4-5 months!

Wow, what a bad week 10 years ago was. Ayrton Senna, Roland Ratzenberger killed in Formula 1, Commodore go, Rwanda crisis...

Actually, in that context, Commodore going bust ain't that bad... :-(

[HopperJF]

KMOS have my faith.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Rwanda crisis

crisis? massacre you mean!

1994  :destroy:

couldn't we just skip that year? Twas even a bad year for me personally.
