A better question is why there are so many PC threads on an amiga site?
Should we shed the name amiga.org for something more general then? What would you call it? Generaltech.org ?
I sometimes wonder if people do anything with other 'real' people in their real lives.
I belong to a bicycle group. Lots of talk about bicycles...imagine that :-) But guess what... sometimes people talk about other things, like gasp, cars, or breaking wind.
Has anybody ever belonged to a car group like a Volkswagen club? Yeah, it's like Amiga.org, lots of talk about Volkswagens, some people like Type IIs some like Type IVs, great way to find parts and get help building up your car or bus.
And guess what you do being part of a Volkswagen club? Much like Amiga.org you think Volkswagens are the best and you make fun of Chevrolet Corvairs, just like we make fun of Windows :-) But guess what, people talk about other things than Volkswagens. Volkswagens are a lot about air cooled engines and yeah a lot of people are into Chevy Corvairs too (also air cooled) some people bring them around, some people trade parts, have lots of knowledge. And no one pisses and moans saying, damn it only mention the word Volkswagen. People talk about all kinds of cars, because really while they may love VWs that also mean they're into cars.
If you're into Amiga.org and Amigas, well, they're may be a good chance people here like "electronics" or "computers".
I'm not saying we should start posting news items about Windows etc, but if a fellow member needs help then that's what it's all about. Wether it's with another OS or their kitchen sink leaking.
