I seem to find more real "Amiga" talk over at EAB.  This seems to have turned into more of a site for "Social Butterflys".  I think that started when the people running and setting up the rules here, no longer owned or used Amiga's.

Watch CSI !!!    BoxWorld !!!    Watched some movies !!!

Methinks your not using a real Amiga somehow...

My AmigaOne is real Amiga. MPlayer replays movies just fine. BoxWorld (my version) was written on Amiga 4000 7 years ago. I recently recompiled it for AmigaOS 4 and other platforms.

I bring the Amiga or MorphOS up anytime I can when relevant. In conversation the other day, I just learned that a coworker used to run an Amiga BBS board way back when. Was fun hearing him talk about his A2000, his affinity for the platform, how much RAM cost, etc.  :)

On a casual basis. At the moment I am quietly content that the Amiga will have a long future, now that the FPGA Arcade is running smoothly (as seen on the videos). Maybe the site will lose a lot of the hardware hunting posts and the "look at the prices on ebay" posts now. Of course "how do I get warez?" posts from new users may increase though.

I met an old friend of mine who used to be in the local Amiga club at an Apple iPad 2 demo a couple days ago.

hmm... amiga? Yes! I use it everyday! i browse internet, i read mail, i render 3d gfx, i even play 3d cool games! on my iimac(*) obviously! but the amiga stands there, in front of me, under the monitor! ...so it can stand higher! Soon i'll buy a second amiga so i can take my monitor even higher! only amiga... makes it possible...

(*) iimac is the quintessence of imac. those 2 ii before the name mean this is not the classical imac but something beyiond. something that really turns pcs people full of envy. my iimac turns on and off and sometimes it makes this alone: steve jobs has a remote control that various moments in the day he clicks and then my iimac is gone dead. and if am ii working on some important document? this is not iimportant! The Big relative (we hate big brother!!!) thinks for me and this is cool! With my iimac life is easier! ii gave my brain to an apple shop. they will use iit for science. mabe not but they'll give me a new brain app!cool, don't you think??

I just awarded this thread a single star! Black hole wasn't on the list.

:lol:


Ok, I got my C64 MIDId to my Amiga last night and played around, the new DualSID thing I got worked perfectly, good sound.

Well, yes I like to use my Amigas most days of a week. Now that I apperently managed to destroy my A1000, while attempting some kickrom hack (damn, shouldn't touch that soldering iron), I was little down and didn't touch these things for a while. Well life must go on, and maybe one day will repair her. So now it's A1200/indivision/030 and A500Plus/A590 in front of me to entertain.

Reckon the title should speak for itself... :)

But just in case... that means no Religion, Philosophy, World Disasters, MicroSoft, Apple (especially Apple) and anything non-Amiga in this thread please... :)

(Bet you it can't be done... ;))


Once I get the rest of my man cave cleaned out. In the process of making room, I'll be setting up the table to hold 3 computers. 2 - oh, wait I can't mention them on this thread. They'll be running MAME for fun and educational software for my kids and my A1200 which is full of WHDLoad for my sons to experience all those old Amiga games I love. It was on the floor by an old TV, I'll get it back on my multisync and in a better home.

So, I talk about Amiga with them and how it was ahead of it's time. I talk with them about innovation and how much technology today is about marketing. They really like a lot about Amiga and don't understand why someone couldn't sell a little Amiga compatible system today that just had a lot of the old games embedded.

So Franko, How did I do avoinding my best Grumpy Smurf impression of I hate, (any of the above listed items)! LOL!

Broccoli falls under the "anything non Amiga" wording, everyone knows you only use broccoli for cleaning the loo... :)

That one was corny even by your standards... I've just taken your gold star away for that, now go stand in the corner... ;)

@Nlandas

As you didn't mention what you didn't mention then I can only assume that what you didn't mention was one of the unmentionables, so therefore you did pretty well, I think... :)

PS:I've just came back from church where they were philosophising on the two main computer systems Apple & Microsoft and how the money they have between them could solve all the world disasters... :D

Erm... think I'll ban meself from this thread now... ta, ta... ;)
