So.

Farewell then Mike Magee.
Aberdonian hack
And much-loved
Editor of The Inquirer.

Yes.

That was your
Most famous mag.

And The Rogister.
That was
The most famous as well.
At least It was.

But now
It smells.

No, wait, whaaa?

Why? Oh Why!!! Such a deep loss. Hope to see TheINQ stay high and hard even without him! [Well now that sounded weird. Ed.] ;)

Mike is the Man!

Mike, thank you for your hard work at the Inq - it got me through the reign of Queen Carly during my time at Compaq/HP. If we ever cross paths I'd be more than willing to buy you a pint or two!

And his age... ?

If you're gonna do a pastiche, try and do it right, please!

AST adds: He's 93, you know.

The end of an era, or the beginning of new atrocities against voles and badgers? And 'Zillas of all persuasion? :-)

I have SERIOUS DOUBTS

I have serious doubts that we've heard the last from Mike. I've heard rumors that Mike is looking to the SouthEast. Issatso, Mike?

Magee has migrated to TOMS (mine) Hardware.

If you read Toms Guide you will note theo wrote nice article about Asus yesterday.

Mr. Proven, Send all your cases back to you,liam. You blew your own fuse out, it really was bomb inside that, yet we needed to exercise.

Love it or Leave it, its' Ultie 64 choirer now & thats also next load from Archetecs house, keep on planning gang. Someday I'll sell "WORLD" 2U..Ps, Mike don't get sloppy drunk at your own party, get high. Thats what Oscar always said, & its oscars birthday today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Oscar Napoleon Samuelson- Founder & insider-AMP.

Good Hunting Mike.

Good Luck!

Dear Mike,

I have been reading the Inquirer ( & previously the Register ) for many years. It is my home page, I hope this expains it all. 

Good luck to you in your future endeavours, I hope the Inquirer continues with the refreshing tradition of being completely independent & exposing the IT industry bulls***!

Regards,

Jose

So Long....

I was a subscriber to the original email newsletter - I looked forward to every issue. I hope your next venture will be as successful (if not more) as the the Inq.

Bring Back Mike

Please come back Mr. Magee - the finest IT editor of them all! We will have to start a petition like they did for Deirdre Rachid.

erm, you're all fired

It's a leap year, and I'm still editor until the end of today. You're all fired, especially you, who has thefted my names (Spinola, Sherriff et al) and has gone and besmirched my reputation. [Is that right? Ed.]
