After enquiries from users about the above site, I am happy to announce that I have managed to restore the Amiga Samba for Idiots website on my own personal webspace until its proper "home" is restored.

Not all the pages were rescued, but the most important ones were.

Please make a note.

At Colmar Multimedia Expo 2008 standing in North-East of France the next 24-25-26th October and where Amiga will be represented in force, QoQa.fr will offer to the visitors, during a contest game organized on the RELEC stand, a multimedia product "special exhibition", the same that will be on sale throughout the weekend on their web site : this magnificent ZICPLAY Multimedia Center Z99.

The concept of QoQa.fr is simple: to offer every weekday, at midnight time, a new product at the best price in limited quantities!

After discussions amongst members of various forums, the lack of a UK national user group and a UK national meet / show was disappointing (especially in the light of AmiWest and Pianeta Amiga). So after a little bit of consultation I have setup a web site to coordinate a national user group and hopefully a national meet / show.
