Modified: March 2, 1996 In the FidoNet AMIGA echo, we've started our own "kick in the pants" response to the PC's TEAM OS/2. It's taking off like wildfire! We'd like to extend the invite to every Amiga devotee, everywhere! We have hundreds of members from several countries and from Fido, Internet and on-line services. It's free. There are no dues. There are no rules. There are no officers. There are no idiots with a sense of pretentiousness (like CCISU or whatever the name of that "club" for Amiga Sysops was... ;). To join, all you have to do is: 1) Swear that you are an Amiga enthusiast who extols the virtues of the Amiga to anyone and everyone you meet who is interested in computers (ESPECIALLY the PC crowd! ;) and now that the Amiga's future is looking up, you'll continue to do so even more fervently than before. 2) If you decide to join, fill out the application below and send it to me to be added to the list, so if there are any billion dollar sweepstakes prizes or warehouses of Amigas to be awarded (WINK WINK, GRIN GRIN ;) , we'll know how to contact you. Seriously, a database is being kept and will be forwarded to AT/Escom, should they decide to pick up the ball and run. (Footnote: Since this all started, we do know that Amiga Technologies is observing Team AMIGA activities closely and has expressed interest in the near future of "officially recognizing" us. One objective of Team AMIGA of course, was to get as many Amiga enthusiasts worldwide to make a statement of support, but another objective, is to show AT/Escom how much of a mistake it would be to not adequately support other continents, like North America and Australia) 3) Always acknowledge that I am the one who started all this (hey, I want SOME credit! (It's a JOKE, people, a JOKE! ;) 4) Know and understand that your stats will be in a database kept by me (Rick Lembree) and _not_ released to _anyone_. If it comes to the point that AT/Escom wants to take the ball on this, they are the _only_ ones I will release the database to, and I will at that time ask that if they release the database to other companies, that they be released only to AMIGA oriented ones. The only other thing we ask of you, is if you use the name in your on-line signature, that you type it exactly as shown below: Team AMIGA The reason is for consistency, and for recognition. If everyone types it a different way, it appears that we don't "have our act together". If you agree to all the above, just send in the following information: (Important! Please use this template as is and with ALL necessary info requested to facilitate database entry, ok? If replying from a Fido node, don't assume that I will have your Fido address when doing the database! INCLUDE IT in the template!
