I think the middle image AROS as seen by AROS fans should be:



"I'M FREE!!!" ;)


Wouldn't that give the impression that AROS zealots - the classname for which remains a secret, but given the famous, somewhat provocative Kitty I'm going to call "furries" - regard AROS as highly camp, rather than free?

Blind Amiga Fanatic.

A pejorative term that has somewhat lost it's meaning these days (especially in the post Amiga v Hyperion litigation era), but as all of the next-gen-amigaos trolls are perpetually stuck in 2003, to them it's still common currency.

The counterpart "BGF" (Blind Genesi Follower) never really caught on as "smurf" had already made it into the wild :)

The first time I heard the expression was from a MorphOS user: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4084#5
Quote from: Kronos

Or get the pure PPC-compiler as that will also come with installer,
and even a special version of GoldED for free.


I know you want it, and you should know it to,there is no way of
escaping the smurf-armada :-P :-D ;-)


Jeez, that thread is ironic in hindsight:

Is there some unwritten rule that says all C++ coders must be Unix obssesed?


I became the very thing I was complaining about :lol:

I shouldn't think so, those four guys look quite normal compared to the average BAF.


Au contraire.

Using a combination of Advanced Image Deconvolution Sizing and Fourier Analysed Interpolative Lens simulation, we can zoom and enhance the image to reveal hitherto unseen detail.

Without a second thought

Using an advanced gene-splice simulation system, I was able to work out that she'd look a bit like this*:

The comedy comes from it's simplicity, it does not need to be extended :)


Especially when you consider that it would end up in a sparse matrix in which the default cell contents would be something like this (at least for classic/natami/etc user's views of all NG systems):

All those OS4, AROS & MorphOS junkies are quick enough to jump down your throat when you post something that even merely hint's a wee bit about saying something is wrong with their chosen OS and yet here they same numpties seem quite happy to join in ridiculing themselves... :confused:


Erm, who would you say in this thread is one of those "same numpties" ?

You fur a start ya big numptie ye... :lol:

You were quite recently telling me off in a thread not to be so harsh on OS4.0, well how come then OS4.0 received not one single solitary vote in the recent poll... (don't know what this has to do with anything, but I just thought I'd throw it in... :) )

I didn't tell you off, I simply called you out on the claim it chronically slow. Something along the lines of "using a chip-ram only A1200" you suggested... ;)

Well, frankly you picked the wrong site to estimate OS4 usage. There was an exodus years ago when for a brief period when the site was perceived by the red camp to be under undue influence of the blue camp.

Even then, a surprising number of votes for 4.1...
