Thanks, with all the benefits of CUCUG and free advertisement it's a great investment! I checked with others and was either disappointed or the price was staggering. Thanks for All, Keith-Richard Burton Commodore Enthusiast

Subject: Re: Thanks for your CUCUG Dues!
Glad you received my payment. It's the least I can do as CUCUG has been a bright ray of hope for me and my favorite machine (the AMIGA) throughout the period since I decided to forget buying that "fast" 50MHz 386 and drove into our local (and only) AMIGA retailer and plopped down $2500 for this 3000 I'm using.
Its been by far the best investment I've ever made, holding its value through the years when that 386 would have long ago been tossed into the dumpster. I've gotta tell you that I use a 210MHz MAC at work and have some 166MHz Pentiums in my house for the rest of the family but for creative license and just plain old fun, this machine is by far the best and most satisfying. There's a lot to respect out there in the AMIGA community and I'm proud to be one of the Amigans. I've been accused of incoherent crowing about the AMIGA by PC users and MAC users alike but how can you stop trying to get the message about such a good thing across?
I know you've heard this all a million times but hell, I'm easy, give me a better machine, user community, and operating system and I'll gladly switch over. Trouble is, there just isn't any such thing yet.

I really must compliment you all for the fantastic work you've done on your site, and for making it perhaps the most up-to-date source of information on the Amiga.
Fantastic :-) You're in my permanent "bookmark" file.

To say this site is impressive would not do you justice. This site is an excellent example of why Amiga users love their Amiga's. For sheer knowledge of "what is your Amiga for?" This site is the difinitive answer! I wish I had found it sooner. It is georgous!
Thanks. And that seems so humble.

Just a fabulously helpful page. Please accept my heartfelt thanks as I needed some Amiga information that I had no real hope of finding until I found your page. Again, thanks. Amiga folks are just the neatest citizens on this planet. best regards, Rory.

May I compliment you on your Web-Site. For a Web-Site to have so much information available, someone with a great team must have done an enormous amount of research. Thank you all for the great effort you've put in. You certainly achieved a fantastic result.
Greetings from little New Zealand, down in the South Pacific. I'm a member of Amiga Auckland user group. Thanks to the lack of support from the local Auckland computer dealers our numbers have dropped from a national membrership of about 600 down to 175. We have been operating for about ten years and the members' machines range from WB1.3 A500s to my new A4060T on WB3.1. Our AAUG runs four branches, Central, North Shore, Western and (my branch) South-East.
You'll see from this, that we are still going strong in spite of the situation that we've experienced.
It was great news that GW2K has put new life into the Amiga scene, their record in the business world bodes well for the Amiga. It might even be advertised properly, this time. Let's hope so.
Again, congratulations on a magnificent job.
Regards from little New Zealand.
