Ok. As I don't have the money to do that, I will work on other projects. I am really sorry, not paying Thomas a full time salary.

But this is really sad and makes me feel bad. I only wanted to help. I may not be a coder and not a millionaire, but I can do a lot of other things...

I think that the work on the project has come to stop at one point.
(at the moment)

I have no insight into the project but in the team section has been about a week any more moving, there were times when it was clearly different.

Also still no team member has responded to your request, is a showing sign.

Sorry for the long silence. After discussing important matters on the team, we hereby announce the need to reorganize the project.

Due to unreasonably high expectations on the team side regarding time frames and foremost forgetting about Thomas' original intentions for what Natami is supposed to be, Thomas has decided to seclude himself as of now and to peacefully finish what he has begun, without having to follow unrealistic time frames and expectations.

We as a team feel that all you strong Natami followers deserve a better treatment than being confronted with a wall of silence, while eagerly awaiting news and progress.

Natami is going to be finished, yet not necessarily under that exact
name (for reasons not to be debated). What name it will be, is Thomas' choice.

So, if you don't mind a Natami-like machine being officially available at some (as of now yet uncertain) point in time and want to stick with it anyways, you're very welcome. Should you think that other projects seem more wortwhile in the light of
things, please follow your wishes.

That kind of fairness and openness is the least we have to treat our strong Natami fans with.

Best regards to all you great supporters
Team Natami

P.S.: Ville, you got that right ;)

Concerning a *possibly* different naming, there won't be any consequences or impacts. The development goes on as usual. And I hope you're not interested in Natami just because of that special name ;) .

Thanks for letting us know.

That's the least we can do for all you great guys.

    Thomas has decided to complete "Natami" according to his own, original specifications, instead of trying to accommodate all kinds of ambitious wishes going in different directions.

But I would suspect "high speed memory Amiga" more than "experimental platform with all computer features ever invented between 1980 and now stuffed into it".

(I see no reason to believe the physical board will be any less capable or expandable than it is already. I.e. I would be surprised if Ethernet, PCI or USB disappeared.)

I won't leave the train. I still want a "Natami". Good luck to Thomas and all others involved.

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks, now we know something more and we have the real and important answer.
Good luck!!

Basically I think this latest news is a complete joke and is one big up yours to everyone who has visited and contributed to this site over the years.

Ooohhhh Tomas is busy, he has a full time job...well so has everyone else.  Nobody asked Tomas to put himself out there by creating the natami web site and forums and such like.  Nobody created the expectation apart from the natami team.

If the team don't want to keep answering progress questions just provide a realistic estimate! We're all in IT, we've all provided estimates.  If its 5 years, then fine it's 5 years but at least we all wouldn't be logging on every day waiting to see if today will be the day we see something. 

And remember the ONLY reason were all desperate for progress is because we're excited! And we love our Amiga just as much as tomas and the rest of the team does.
