You know you are amiga.org addicted when ...
« on: October 26, 2010, 07:35:19 PM »
... you are following these long I've-got-the-biggest threads on their computer in the hope some new information would pop up; threads where everyone has repeated his stance a hundred times.

... you feel the urge to repeatedly correct/denigrate people who are using the wrong computer platform and have the wrong idea about amiga's future.

... you have to post your stance and idea for the thousands time although you know it won't change anything.

Where is the amiga.org mental clinic ?

Clearly, after all the whining about there being too much drama and it slackening off, some people want it back.

Nothing good can possibly come of the OP's post.

well I see myself nearly every day, before my working day start - drinking coffee, checking Gmail, reading Amiga forums [I set up AW shortcut key to open AmigaWorld in Opera and AO to open AmigaOrg] :) ... and enjoying small bug nice progress in Amiga world :)

Looks like first love never forgets :)

You log in 2 or 3 times a day, even though your real amiga hardware hasn't been on in years, and even UAE hasn't been started in weeks. ;-)

... you laugh every time you see or hear a reference to broccoli!

... you try to explain to your family during dinner about the funny (sad, exciting, etc.) thread your read on A.org.

... you suggest naming your kids after your fellow A.org members. (could also include former commodore employees)

... you sit in a corporate staff meeting wondering, what would (insert A.org member name here) do?

I used to do it because it's easier to type a name than it is an IP address across a network when you don't have a numeric keypad.

These days because it means I differentiate between my laptop and netbook across Opera Unite.

When you find yourself getting very twitchy and mumbling under your breath that the time spent having to do other things in life like, shopping, keeping hospital appointments, visiting friends an relatives, making your dinner, going to funerals and other such mundane things are getting in the way of logging in to Amiga,org...  :insane: :nervous:

I guess that helps separate man (or woman) from the machine...

On another note, many years ago I had a dog, named "Dog"
