Hey -- keep up the good work.
I would like to point out that the following statement in your "Notice":
`The vast majority of you then, will find nothing here to stimulate your imagination!'
should possibly read:
`The vast majority of you don't have any imaginations to stimulate!'
Sign me as an Amiga user still holding on and liking it.

Well what can I say? The non Amiga-users to which you are referring are certainly unimaginative and perhaps uncreative. If not, then why on Earth did they choose to travel down the PC path when they could have opted for the far more scenic and desirable Amiga one? I agree with your sentiments and am glad that you made the right choice. Our road has been a troubled one though, often through war-torn lands, but I'm sure that I can see a bright light shining on the horizon - only time will tell as to how many footsteps are required to reach it!

Hey, I'm an "Amiga freak" too. Let's get together, we'll do lunch! :-)

I'm delighted to be hearing from so many Amigans, I have come to realise just how widespread this so-called "dead" platform has penetrated into an otherwise grey world.

As to the A\Box, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what happens. Personally, I'd favour the Alpha-powered machine which Quikpak have proposed, but there you go. One thing's for sure, we need new hardware NOW! It's all well and good releasing grandiose promises of high-spec machines, but let's wait until we actually see the hardware eh? As Amigans, we've had promises made for our platform for years, magnificent proposals - all of them, but many have proved to be nothing more than publicity-generating whims of fantasy. The market can't support this approach for much longer, when Amiga users are moving to other machines on a daily basis. Come on developers, let's see new computers now - while the Amiga community is still large enough to make them worthwhile.

Thanks for the praise. As to Paul Nolan, I do worship him, I worship anyone who has the courage and foresight to continue to develop and support the Amiga during these troubled times.

Rest assured, The Lair! is here to stay!

Thanks for the HTML tip. I knew it already though :-) Tried it, but wasn't happy with the results - hence the current format.

You have certainly lifted my heart! Nova Designs' ImageFX is one of the programs used in the production of The Lair! and, frankly, I wouldn't be without it.

I didn't know that they had pledged allegiance to the Amiga exclusively, so I am thrilled that you have brought this to my attention.

In return, I think that as many Amigan's as possible should support them and buy a copy of ImageFX, it's one of the most powerful image-processing packages available - give it a shot.

Mark, I like you - do you want to move in with me? :-)
