Just to say "hello" from an old salt
Hi,
a week ago i found this forum and its nice to see that some long time nekoware users like  @dexter, @jan-jaap and others have survived and found a new home. They use the same avatars as years ago!  Even all the SGI icons the user "pinball" have once introduced are there!

As a long former contributor to nekoware and builder of 100s of neko_*.tardist its sad that this is all gone and a lot is lost.  I never sold one of my Origins (10xO200, 2xO2000,1xO3000, 1xO300) and most of them are in place in the DC but shut down for years now :( 


Regards
Joerg

Ha ha, I said the same thing last month.

I've turned on the Onyx every couple months for the last year or two, just to knock the dust off the fan blades, but it wouldn't boot. I jumped onto Neko and it said it couldn't connect, it's a shame what all was lost but it's nice to see Raion and everyone else helping build it back up.

Nice to see others are finding this place!
