The shamefull truth is.. I use GEOS :(


I couldn't afford an ST so I started writing my own GUI in a compiled BASIC and got as far as the Mac/GEM style windows and pull down menus :roflmao:

We're done here. Have a pleasant day.


Really, that's what I wrote? Ironically enough, I think that you should read that sentence again. As I said, I did read all of what you wrote, but I disregarded most of it as pure bait, such as your golden bits of wisdom, like
Quote
The subject is plagued by feelings of guilt about having used an amiga. This may come from insecurities of having made a "wrong choice" and a burning need to correct others misconceptions.

and your brilliant conclusion;
Quote
The cure for both illnesses is to go have a wank, and is thus easily accomplished. If you still suffer from either afterwards, you obviously didn't wank it enough.

because I don't really think that they can be addressed in a polite manner.

If there's any particular part of what you wrote (that wasn't obviously pulled out of god-knows-where to justify your inability to accept the opinions of others) that you'd like me to address, please go ahead and point it out.

I misread your post. Apologies for that.
 
Here's my thing: Things aren't binary. Its okay to have a thread about amiga stuff, without the same old stuff being brought up again and again.
 
We all know that PC's turned out to be more powerful, capable and cost effective. Why repeat it every single time someone wants to talk about the A1200 or the proposed A1300 or whatever ?
It'd be like going to a classic car forum and talking about how much better your Prius is.
 
 
If the tone was not to your liking, I apologize.
If being tired of that stuff makes me a zealot or someone who doesn't want to hear other opinions, I guess I'll carry that badge.

Maybe I could respect your stance if you could point out a single thread that has become a "piss fest" because someone mentioned any of the points in your first post. Sure, I've seen people say similar things, but it has always been contextually called for and in the spirit of discussion.
