Merry Christmas!
Dear readers, dear Amiga friends,

As Christmas draws to a close, so does the year and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal readers, for whom we have endeavoured over the past twelve months not only to collect news, but also to provide background reports, tutorials, anecdotes and so on. It is fascinating how many private, but also professional projects still exist around the Amiga.

Therefore, on the other hand, thanks should also go to all the people who develop these small and large software and hardware projects and sacrifice time for them: without them there would be nothing for us to report on and nothing for the many Amiga users to be happy about, test, complain about... ;)

For this reason, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year together with a few randomly selected people who represent all the projects we have reported on over the past year! Stay in touch with the developers, the creatives, support them, also by actively participating in discussions in the corresponding news items here: Feedback is always welcome! A big thank you to the graphic designer 'jojo073', who provided us with the Christmas pixel art.

Merry Christmas!

(dr)
