Wow. Still getting emails now following the Amiga piece, several days on. The majority are positive and supporting, in some cases expressing thanks for giving the Amiga some coverage...
Great Amiga Article... It's really nice to see the Amiga still gets press. I have fond memories of it.
...
Keep up the good work!
...
Nice post :-)
...
Thanks for a very good article on the Amiga.
...
I want to translate you article called "The Amiga is dead. Long live the Amiga!" and put translation on polish amiga site - http://www.ppa.pl/. Do you agree?
...
Holy Shit Liam! Nice article.
...
Awesome Article !!! [...] Well done! I've just found out that there is activity in Amiga-land a few months ago & your article REALLY summed up quite a bit of the past action!
However I've also had a few abusive ones, telling me that I'm a know-nothing fool who can't write, clearly did no research, don't know what I'm talking about and should not waste my time:
When was Pegasos AmigaOS compatible? This story seems to be an odd an inaccurate attempt to associate Genesi and their boards with AmigaOS4. [...] I don't get this at all... And the second paragraph of your article is not accurate.
...
The Pegasos is *not* AmigaOS compatible. The Pegasos has nothing to do, in any way, shape, or form, with AmigaOS. This entire article is in error, and anyone with even a passing interest in AmigaOS (eg: anyone who sees the word "Amiga" and reads this article) knows this.
Fun fun fun!

I don't think I've ever seen this much response from a single article that I've written anywhere. It stayed as the #2 top story on the Inq most of the day, as far as I could see, dropping down to #2 for a while then recovering.

It's being discussed/castigated/heckled in various places, too:

Amigaworld
Moobunny
Pegasos.org

I stand sit amazed. (In a good way! At least, mostly...) There is still considerable interest in this particular bit of of the geek world, at any rate!
