A word about the content here at Amiga.org

Yum they look cheesy!  

[Kesa]

Amiga jet!



It's better than a boing ball!

[Kesa]

Why is everyone acting goofy tonight?      :insane:

My excuse is it's 1am and way past my bedtime     :insane:

What about everyone else?

[Kesa]

While we are talking about irrelevany forum stuff can i ask a question that's been bugging me for a while?

On the homepage it says the maximum users online at any time was 497 on 7-29-2010 at 2:46pm. I've never seen anything like this number since i've been here. Just wondering what was the occasion?

[Kesa]

What would be really cool for amiga.org would be a chat room(s). Can we get some? Forums are too slow.

[Kesa]

Precisely. IRC channels are are a dime a dozen. Things are said and often forgotten in minutes, but forums have a nice permanence to them.

I understand.

[Kesa]

Indeed it is a fantastic game, but you need to delve back further into the cyberpunk genre and recall a bullfrog classic...

So that's not you in that avatar then. I thought you made it yourself

Kesa walks in the Henry Draco's Amiga Hardware shop and walks past the tracker hero player.

Kesa: Good morning.

Draco: Good morning, sir. Welcome to the National Amiga Hardware Emporium!

Kesa: Ah, thank you, my good man.

Draco: What can I do for you, Sir?

Kesa: Well, I was, uh, sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now, skimming
through "Total Amiga Assembler" by Paul Overaa, and I suddenly came over all consumerish.

Draco: Consumerish, sir?

Kesa: Impulsively.

Draco: Eh?

Kesa: 'Ee, Ah wanted to buy an Amiga like!

Draco: Ah, a purchase!

Kesa: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, "a little 68000 compatible will do the trick,"
so, I curtailed my Overaan activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance
to negotiate the vending of some chequered collectables!

Draco: Come again?

Kesa: I want to buy some stuff or a miggy.

Draco: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the tracker hero player!

Kesa: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the four-channel
muse!

Draco: Sorry?

Kesa: 'Ooo, Ah lahk a nice mod, 'yer forced too!

Draco: So he can go on playing, can he?

Kesa: Most certainly! Now then, some hardware please, my good man.

Draco: Certainly, sir. What would you like?

Kesa: Well, eh, how about a little A600?

Draco: I'm, afraid we're fresh out of A600's, sir.

Kesa: Oh, never mind, how are you on basic minimigs?

Draco: I'm afraid we never have them at the end of the week, sir, we get 'em fresh
on Monday.

Kesa: Tish tish. No matter. Well, stout yeoman, a four megabyte Blizzard 1220 turbo,
if you please.

Draco: Ah! they've been on order, for two weeks, sir. Was expecting them this morning.

Kesa: 'T's Not my lucky day, is it? Aah, A3000?

Draco: Sorry, sir.

Kesa: FPGA Arcade?

Draco: Normally, sir, yes. Today the van broke down.

Kesa: Ah. A1000?

Draco: Sorry.

Kesa: A500? A500+?

Draco: No.

Kesa: Any GVP 530's per chance?

Draco: No.

Kesa: A2000?

Draco: No.

Kesa: A1500?

Draco: No.

Kesa: A2000?

Draco: No.

Kesa: A2500?

Draco: No.

Kesa: CDTV?

Draco: (pause) No.

Kesa: A3000?

Kesa: Accelerators. Apollo 1230, 1240, Blizzard 1230, Blizzard 1240 ERC,
Blizzard 1260, 2060, Warp Engine, Cyberstorm, CyberstormPPC?

Draco: No.

Kesa: A4000, perhaps?

Draco: Ah! We have one of those, yes sir.

Kesa: (suprised) You do! Excellent.

Draco: Yessir. It's..ah,.....the battery, it's a bit leaky...

Kesa: Oh, I like 'em leaky.

Draco: Well,.. It's very leaky, actually, sir.

Kesa: No matter. Fetch hither the deus ex machina d'AGA!

Draco: I...think it's a bit leakier than you'll like it, sir.

Kesa: I don't care how incontinentally leaky it is. Hand it over with all speed.

Draco: Oooooooooohhh........!

Kesa: What now?

Draco: The technician's taken it.

Kesa: (pause) Has he.

Draco: She, sir.

(pause)

Kesa: A3000UX?

Draco: No.

Kesa: CD32?

Draco: No.

Kesa: Picasso-II?

Draco: No.

Kesa: Picasso-IV?

Draco: No.

Kesa: Ariadne?

Draco: No, sir.

Kesa: You...do *have* some Amiga hardware, do you?

Draco: (brightly) Of course, sir. It's a Amiga shop, sir. We've got--

Kesa: No no... don't tell me. I'm keen to guess.

Draco: Fair enough.

Kesa: Uuuuuh, Draco?

Draco: Yes?

Kesa: Ah, well, I'll have one of those!

Draco: Oh! I thought you were talking to me, sir. Mister Draco, that's my name.

(pause)

Kesa: Piccolo SD64?

Draco: Uh, not as such.

Kesa: Sunrize AD516?

Draco: no

Kesa: X-Surf?

Draco: no

Kesa: Squirrel SCSI?

Draco: no

Kesa: Generic PCMCIA Ethernet cards?

Draco: Not *today*, sir, no.

(pause)

Kesa: Aah, how about an A1200?

Draco: Well, we don't get much call for them around here, sir.

Kesa: Not much ca--It's the single most popular Amiga model in the world, man!

Draco: Not 'round these parts, sir.

Kesa: and prey, what IS the most popular model 'round these parts'?

Draco: The NatAmi, sir.

Kesa: IS it?

Draco: Oh, yes, sir, it's staggeringly popular in the manor, squire.

Kesa: Is it.

Draco: It's our number one best seller, sir!

Kesa: I see. Uuh...NatAmi, eh?

Draco: Right.

Kesa: All right. Okay. 'Have you got one?' he asked, expecting the answer 'no'.

Draco: I'll have a look, sir... nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.

Kesa: It's not much of a Amiga shop, is it?

Draco: Finest in the district!

Kesa: (annoyed) Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.

Draco: Well, it's so tidy, sir!

Kesa: It's certainly uncluttered by Amigas....

Draco: (brightly) You haven't asked me about the Walker prototype, sir.

Kesa: Is it worth it?

Draco: Could be....

Kesa: Have you -- WILL YOU SHUT THAT BLOODY MOD PLAYER OFF?!

Draco: (to tracker hero player) Told you so....

Kesa: (slowly) Have you got a Walker prototype?

Draco: No.

Kesa: Figures. Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism
to have posed the question in the first place. Tell me something.

Draco: Yes, sir?

Kesa: Have you in fact got any Amiga hardware at all?

Draco: Oh, yes, sir.

Kesa: Now I'm going to ask you that question once more, and if you answer "no", I'm going
to shoot you through the head. Have you got any Amiga hardware at all?

(pause) Draco: No. Not really, sir.

(gunshot)

Kesa: What a *senseless* waste of human life.


That's really funny!

Reminds me of when i tryed to buy condoms for the first time     :nervous:

[Kesa]

(Hurt me brain that does... :confused:)

But Franko you don't have a brain.

:roflmao:

[Kesa]

Did you use microfilm to photograph it?

:roflmao:

[Kesa]

As Einstein put it... Time is relative

No no, we all live in the present! It's just that the Austrialians think the present is the past and the Americans think the present is the future! Simple when you think about it!

hmmmmmm.....

I will provide proof that is indisputable. It will happen at the witching hour on Dec 31st. You will see Sydney celebrating the fireworks before anyone else on global television. The yanks are next and finally when all Aussies are safety in thier beds after celebrating new years eve the pommies will have thier turn. At this point no one really cares anyway...

This is proof that Australians are the most forward country in the world. The yanks are behind Australia and finally the pommies are way behind everyone else.

Any questions?
