There's quite some humour in that.

Did he mean "Big Box Amigas" or was that a deliberate slur on the
console Amigas?

I know A1200's don't get the battery leakage, Buster problems, audio
trouble, voltage regulation weirdness, capacitor decay and expensive
repairs associated with Cyberstorms!

As far as I'm concerned all Amigas were a high quality, and the CD32
pad wasn't rubbish in my opinion. I liked it!

AmigaOne strikes me as being poor quality though... dodgy korean
motherboards with Eeproms that go funny, PC cases, no sense of
identity, non existant logo or branding, an OS still in the beta stage
and a software catalogue smaller than the Amstrad GX4000!

:-D

At all native English language guys,

Can someone with a better than mine English speech (yes i know . . .not so difficult to find), explain to yhis guy that could be "dangerous" (if not annoying) to write those "statements"?

Cheers :-)

Hehe, higher quality machines? Depends on how you define it.

A1200 motherboards are robust as hell. I recently shorted out an AT PSU through one (bad floppy disk drive grounded out it's 5V line), enough to render the PSU useless (seems it didnt have a fuse?)

Even after that surge of current, the damn thing is still OK :lol:

Hoya!

Pardon my ignorance but, although I know DoomMaster was a former AOrg member, I do not know what all the fuss is about. Is he that big a troll and that stupid?

Who would buy a driver disk without the hardware? It just doesn't strike me as useful and it sure isn't worth $1.95 just to get a new floppy disk. CNet and 3Com drivers are available for free and old PCMCIA NICs can be bought for next to nothing.

You're all taking the bait again, just like the last time...and the time before that...and the time before that...and...

Good old Doomy... he doesn't have to be a member of AOrg to rattle its cages does he!...?

Cheers,

Chances are that disk only contains a version of the cnet.device off Aminet. Possibly an old version at that.
