    It is a god awful day, I know.  What helped me today is the Virtual Wake thread.

    Looking through all the pictures with a single dedication from each person there.  It does not take the pain away but it is a shared pain and if it helps, I carry your pain as you carry mine and that goes for everyone else too.

    What I've learnt is that the threads over the past few days that we may not be the biggest community in the world, but what we have is ties and relationships that are likely stronger then 95% of most emulation communities.  I should have guessed that by the Wine for Wizard drive, but this week it just cemented it.

    The one defining factor is Chris brought us all together.  When you look at that age of the people on the Virtual Wake thread that shows that as good people, we will hold this together.

    Life is shit - but you know what - you are feeling shit and that is the most important feeling because it shows you care.

    Yes Reg, life can be shit at times, I'm coming through a traumatic time myself. It's friends, neighbours, relatives, people who I've never met in person on the internet who get you through the dark times. The FME Community has been a part of my life for 17 years now and I have made many friends. Today we can reflect on Chris's work and how he has created not only an Emulator, but a following that will go on in his memory.

  2. Thank You Chris  for saving us all from our personal 'demons' with your amazing Emulator. i have made many new friends and learnt a lot about Fruit machines thanks to all your hard work of coding your fantastic programmes and the sites that evolved from this.

    I raise a glass to you sir, thanks for everything.

    Be at rest

    Ricardo.
