Thank you Aaron, for the many years of dedication and excellent hard-work. You've suffered through a lot over the years, with an endless stream of people who whinge, demand, beg, rant, and abuse. It sure has seemed a thankless task at times.
You are a MAMEDev, a title only a small number of the best and most dedicated programmers on the planet will ever achieve. Through the efforts of you and the other MAMEDev, many games have now been preserved and that would otherwise have been lost to oblivion. A nice side effect is that the vast majority are playable in MAME on very modest hardware. You have brought a lot of people happiness in seeing their old favorites again, and also discovering new gems they have never seen before.
You have achieved a lot, pushed massive and exciting improvements into the MAME project, and you have done a lot of good.
I wish you all the very best for the future, and I hope your biggest dreams and aspirations come true.
Angelo has very big shoes to fill. Good luck to you Angelo, and thank you again Aaron.
