[Silly] How amiga communities work

[tone007]

Well, there's comparing the technology subjectively (which obviously makes no sense) and then there's comparing the feeling the respective technologies gave you.  Maybe the "new and fun" factor of the iPhone made someone feel like they did when the Amiga was the "new and fun" thing.

I'm not an old-school Amiga user by any means, and I was quite bored with computers when I decided to pick up an Amiga a couple of years ago.  I know the "new and fun" feeling, and understand people seeking it out.

It's not about computers, it's about feelings!

edit: I will also add, I'm not an iPhone user.

I think the Mac 'Fanbois' are worse. Intel fanbois tip there hat to Amd fanbois when they get beat.
If we were perfect Amiga Users we would all switch to x86 and Linux because the last two companies didn't want to spend any 'real' money upgrading the OS. Or putting out hardware.
It's just upsetting how a computer platform that was making money got shelved by Gateway. Companies like Nintendo and Apple took action when they were taking losses, we got booted. :confused:

You missed out on the smug Apple-worshipping idiot who joins in to tell us about how he's in love with his iPhone and how it's everything Amiga should be now.

:laughing:   Good one!

Only thing worse than a Mactard is a linux lunkhead, In every thread, conversation etc, telling us if Jesus ever gave up his iphone, he would be using Linux, because it is God's gift the the humble masses.never mind that the typical linux user can't even make up his mind one one linux, but to have thousands and then try to justify it on every god darn electronic device on the face of the earth.. Linux in my teabag, Linux power toiletpaper , linux powered tampons etc... OPPS, starting to rant..

, linux powered tampons etc...

Haven't seen those..must be bleeding edge tech...

Apple introduced the iPad to compete with the Linux-powered tampon market.

The LPT market is already over-saturated.

[Homer]

Yes, but the LPT market does have monthly downloads :hammer:

[ChaosLord]

Yes but users are forced to accept their downloads every month, even if they object.

[paul1981]

Or "Mactard."

Or "Macorak".

[Hell Labs]

Jelousy much?

[Rebel-CD32]

I think we hurt a Mactard's feelings.

[Karlos]

The thing is, throwing words like "mactard" around., you sound just as helplessly fanboi as the guy you're deriding.

 Rebel isn't hanging around on Mac forums spamming Amiga advertisements every day.  So no, he really doesn't sound the same.

Slight exaggeration, there. Thus far, he's made 175 posts, about a dozen of which are along the lines of "this was/is so much easier on the mac". Admittedly, some of those were highly ridiculous but people are entitled to their opinion.
