Fellow EAB members, on behalf of Kim Lemon I would like to inform you, that:

A brand new and greatly improved Lemon Amiga website has just been launched!

Actually I never thought this would happen. It's been an amazing 15+ years since I built the Lemon Amiga website and a lot has happened since then, both technically and in life in general.

To sum it up, all I wanted to say is - check out the new Lemon Amiga website and enjoy.

Keep retro gaming,

Kim Lemon
