I'm on Amiga.org just to help people, I have good knowledge of Amiga's because I've been around since early 80's.
 
Sure there are enough people who are anti this and that, but I don't care.
I visit Amiga.org on my PC and yes I like it better than my Amiga's, is that a shame ?
 
I won't brag also what I've got, my signature will tell part of that story and again I don't care if someone has a faster accelerator in their Amiga.
The thing is that my Amiga's run after they haven't from who I bought them.
I upgrade them to run modern WHDLoad games, and other OS'es are nice, but other than just some experimenting, I don't care much about that also. WHDLoad runs best on 3.1 and that is what counts.
Amiga's are just game machines for me, I don't use them for everyday things, my PC will do that better and faster than all my Amiga's combined.
 
I say what I think of future things, but I won't force anything on to someone, I also won't say that you are a :furious: or get :madashell: if you prefer Windows 7 over OS4.X or whatever you like and that goes for hardware as well.
 
I give advice and will try to give that as best I can, what you do with that is entirely up to you, if someone can do better, go ahead.
If I'm wrong I will admit it if proven wrong and I will stand corrected, no harm done, nobody is perfect, if it would be perfect we wouldn't have existed in the first place.
 
But yeah sometimes I think it's more :bitch:ing against one and other than just having a conversation / discussion.

!)You visit Amiga.org on something other than your PC (an old Amiga or a NG system) convinced that if everyone else in the Amiga community would just come to their senses and join the few hundred people in your community you'd finally have the critical mass necessary for sucess!

2)You still have faith that AInc, Hyperion, and CUSA can still work out their differences and make a collective go of it.

3)You've lost your sense of humor and feel compelled to defend all your posts when ridiculed (even when you deserve it).

4)You understand why that piece of hardware sold for so much on Ebay ($10,000 for a complete C65 - sure).

5)You wish you'd had the funds to out bid the guy that won that piece of hardware on Ebay.

6)You are the guy that won that piece of hardware on Ebay (and you post a picture of it and boast about how much you spent on Amiga.org).

7)You think you're not an addict because you reduced your Amiga stockpile to the one (well actually two, three, or four) systems that work best by being the one that sold that harware on Ebay via posting notice of it on Amiga.org (you're an addict, but you do have cash in your pocket - and you're tempted to buy something else that would REALLY work well with what you retained AND you feel SO much remorse over selling that piece of hardware you got big bucks for).

When you live in Spain and you begin to post in english only because of the Amiga you've bought. Ok, I always edit my post just to change some words, but I'm learning english since I bought the Amiga!

Is this where I poke fun at my own community by suggesting - you know you're a MorphOS addict when:
Your German, many of the developers of your OS speak German (or another language other than English), but your posts on the OS' website are in flawless English (better than your English and American friends) because your using an OS derived from an American company.
