[Silly] How amiga communities work

[Karlos]

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.

Perhaps some people just like computers where installing a peice of software doesn't involve hours of googling for bizzare version numbers of libs because aminet is either on the blink or only has an incompatable version. I'm looking at you, netsurf.:roflmao:

And before anybody starts, my lack of love for Mac is a matter of public record ;-)

..but getting the software working on an Amiga is (more than) half the fun!

:lol: That's certainly true in a lot of cases.

Alright forum, when was the last time any of you used an amiga for any form of productive work at all?

And how do I make the above sentance not sound really bitchy in my head?

About six months before the turn of the century.  It was an accident.  Before that you'd have to go back another 5 years....

These days, I use openoffice on my linux box for creating documents and whatnot.
I did mess around with deluxepaint 4 last week, since I enjoy that program, but Amiga these days is all about gaming.

Back in the day, I used it for everything.

Must have been about 1999 or 2000.

Why on earth would anyone want to use an Amiga for doing something productive? Amigas are for fun... experimenting, WHDLoad, learning about computers, etc. The most productive thing I do is stream jazz and downtempo ambient off the 'net with my A1200/Melody Pro.

I prefer the term 'iWhore' I know.. cuz I am an iWhore as well as an Amiga fanatic.. damn no wonder I am always broke!

@Damion
I agree.  Amigas are for fun.

Same here. Although I intend on playing with the Toaster, DCTV paint Dpaint 4 and some games again. I just downloaded Octamed 4 which I never used before. Should be fun.

Just last night.

Out of curiosity, what did you do on it?
