So... How we doin?
« on: January 09, 2017, 03:37:40 PM »
Hi guys,

A long-time friend from the site reminded me that it's now been several years since I sold Amiga.org to BillP, and subsequently having seen it go to Trevor.

I'm just curious as to how everyone's doing these days?  Looks like a LOT less drama and in-fighting, which is what kinda wore me down when I was here.

You guys still enjoying the Amiga?

I'm mostly lurking not doing much Amiga/AROS related stuff anymore.
Just enjoying the occasional drama and maybe stirring the pot a little when things gets too boring ...
;)
Trust me...                                              I know what I\'m doing

Enjoy my classic amiga (when it's running) all the time.  I use it for productivity and entertainment.

I'm surprised that -- after 3 or so days -- I only got two responses.  Glad to get them, but it's rather telling.

As for me, I probably haven't physically laid eyes on an Amiga in what... a decade now (when was the last, good Amiga show?)...  I've tried the emulators a few times, but just can't figure out a single thing that I actually want to do with them.  

It's kind of like loading Parallels on my Mac to run PC software.  Useless if you don't need to run any Windows software..

Since selling AO to BillP all those years ago (time flies), computers in general, and indeed, even my Web sites have taken a real back seat to everything else.  Moving from Alabama to Virginia and then to the D.C. area has provided somewhat of a culture shock and I just really don't have the time to focus on computers as I did when I was 20 and working as a low-end support geek.

That being said, to those of you who have been around long enough to remember me, I wish you well.  To those of you "youngsters" who've arrived since I left, let me say "welcome"...

Last I heard, you guys were planning to update the site to something else.  Maybe Trevor will actually do something with Amiga.org some day, before it's too late to transition to anything newer...

I guess I could always offer him a couple hundred bucks for the site to see if I could revamp it..  :)

Make that 3 ;)

Maybe you didn't get replies because you didn't post on the home page?

Ey up Wayne. Glad you're still alive and kicking. I stick my head in here about once a year if I'm lucky to see what folk are up to. Haven't touched an Amiga in about 12 years now :(

I didn't get any reply on my previous post, and just one view.
Better sorry than worry.

...I guess I'm still holding a grudge from April fools 2004, where Wayne jokingly claimed to have sold Amiga.org to a mexican lesbian porn site or something (and I believed it)

Damn you Wayne!

Lol, I remember that. Funny stuff, I was waiting for the punchline. Wayne likes to pull some legs.
