heh, Joe loves flashing his blue LED all over the place.

Oh please Cecilia: Please DO "tell all" !
I'm proud to admit I showed you my wares!
(I have pix, so bring it woman!)  8*D
Good times, good times...
...But just to correct the record: My showing off of a "Blue-LED" as a novelty for attention back around 1987, when the LEDs cost over $40 dollars EACH, and were only used in medical devices (Zaney, but I bought two of them from Phillips).  

I think you have a memory of me showing you not a Blue, but rather an UltraViolet LED.

 The most recent escapade of me showing an exotic LED was (before most of the public had seen them) the UltraViolet LEDs (390um) that I brought to Kermit Woodall's Amiga Expo show in Baltimore 2002.  At the Expo I popped many new "LED cherries" with all the assembled guests - NOBODY had ever seen a UV-LED before!
Fortunately, I brought dozens of the UV-LEDs and gave most of them away to fellow hackers, (WITH a color warning sticker that I'd printed about them not being eye-safe!).
 
When they have X-Ray LEDs, I will be the first person you know to get and show them around to others!

The UV-LED warning sticker I mentioned above, is below:

The best thing about Amiga.org is it's community of members, they are awesome. Great moderation team is already in place too.

Yes, contrary to all evidence in this thread to the opposite. (I know I was through with the topic of this thread, but I see the subject of the worth of this site as a different topic than the question of who the owner(s) are).

I think I should stop even watching this thread, but you know how it is hard to turn away from watching a train wreck.

AH! you are Correct!

My visual memory (which is better than my verbal memory) makes me recall a very light bluish color on the LED - which would kinda make sense as they were UltraViolet and not really BLUE

anyway, good job on the interview. I know how hard it is to remember details when you are 'on the spot'

it's good to have this kind of Amiga History being documented.

I don't get it. Why won't the new owner stand up and announce? The overwhelming majority of us would give a round of applause and thanks for carrying the torch.

Also, in firefox, for some stupid reason, as I type in this box, the spell checker won't work. New owner, pleause fixx thiss.

[smithy]

Good luck to the new owner, whomever that may be.

What I find quite interesting is that compared to back in the good old days of the Amiga, such a new owner would be guarenteed elevation to celebrity status.  Today they are met with suspicion.  Quite understandable of course.

I feel a little concerned about how the site might change.  It would be nice to hear of the new owner's vision for the site, where they see the site fitting in amongst the other Amiga sites, where they did stand in the old RvB wars, personal views, relationships or past relationships with Amiga notables.

I think a bit of background would make everyone feel a bit happier.
