Well, this is it. We've reached our 1000th post. And guess what, it's still fun! ICO started on September 1st, 2003, less than 4 years ago, and for a dying OS with a shrinking user base, I don't think that's bad at all, I think. It's been quite a ride so far, with ups and downs, good and bad news and this year alone has been full of events, with for example Haiku entering the GSoC ranks and ZETA going down.

One thousand posts and (I'm very happy for this) it has always been a group effort. I, in total honesty, could NOT have done this without Frank, who's been with ICO since its birth. I couldn't forget Eddy of course, who, while not posting for sometime now, at the beginning and for a while was posting news pieces, and as much if not more enthusiastic than I was. Others have also contributed, like Koki and Judgen (more recently) and I thank them as well. Another aspect I'm quite happy about, is that many of the posts were due to user submitting stories, articles, etc, so thank you all out there.

Thanks to ICO I met a lot of people throughout the world, and made some friendships which has lasted for years now and (I hope) will last for many more. Ok, before I start hearing violins playing in the background, I just want to say it's been fun, I hope it continues to be fun, for us and everyone reading, and here's to another 1000 posts!
