Olaf is my one time big hero, his work with updating Amiga OS3.5 is
wonderful.
A short glimse of his sources make me compare coding to poetry.
I guess Samba could have use of the Amiga philosify of small,
simple and optimized programming ot get the most of any type of hardware.

I hope one day I will have the possibility to meet you all over some beer =D

Will that be a port for Amiga NG or Samba 2.0.8 ?, your thinking of ?

I'm confident that Samba will get smaler smother and more stable with the
help of Olaf.

True indeed. Can't Olaf diff file be "diffed" into the main source ?
