  • not much but more than comp.sys.amiga

    From James Schofield@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 16 23:58:52 2023
    Yeah, I know there is not much going on around here.. but the
    comp.sys.amiga groups are DEAD.

    there are a LOT more Amiga guys in my area, and espically online say on facebook. So I am really kinda surprised that there are none in the
    Newsgroups.

    I mean those machines were around more in the early internet days than
    even the STs.. They survived a few more years at least.

    Anyway.. just found it funny. I posted in those groups.. nothing but
    crickets.

    To which Commodore Clifford replies...

    That actually really is strange given that their groups survived after
    many of the ST groups went dead.

    Though it might just be that because of that, they "died" later, and
    their "reboot" is just further down the line.

    That, or there are going to be some good deals on Amigas on Ebay soon.
