Amount of MorphOS copies sold

What I do not particularly understand is the people who say they don't understand why all this fighting happens.
 
It is human nature to defend and justify the choices we make, be it the type of films we like or the type of music we love or the choice of phone OS etc etc etc.
 
You look at any facet of life and people argue black and blue and trash each others opinions. There is nothing new in this, or unique to MorphOS. AOS, Windows, MacOsx, iPhone, Android. Do you get the picture.
 
If there were only two people left in the world and one had a red house and one has a blue house they would argue on a forum about which the best type of house.

Why do you feel your choices need defending? It's not human nature at all, it's all down to the individual. For example, I'm not a fan of Apple, and occassionally I get people saying I should get an iPhone. I don't feel insecure about choosing an N900, and I don't feel the need to defend my choice, beyond a simple 'my phone is right for me', or something along those lines.
 
Usually the people that shout loudest to defend their choices, are the ones that are most insecure. If you're truly happy with decision, then this 'defending' becomes largely unnecessary. Please note I'm not singling you out here, this is just a general observation.

 
Thats funny because I have an N900 and would argue the toss against iPhone users.  Then I used an Iphone and I cant believe the annoance of using systems like maemo and android anyway thats not the point....
 
Are you mental.  Thats great that you dont feel the need to support shout about the choice of os, computer, car football team etc you make.
 
Most people do, you are inthe minority.  I am not saying this is how things should be, just they way they are.  Sorry when I use the words "I" and "You" I should reallyh be using "One".

Would like to clairfy I own a mac mini witha reg morhpos .  JHardly ever used it.  Not used since last update.

In fact Amiga.org just been my home for sooooo long cant leave.  Thinking of selling all my amiga stuff as don't use it anymore and just takes up space.

I would say the vast majority of people on this site do not use Amigas anymore

Am I mental?
 
Here's the thing; I don't define myself through what I buy. Perhaps that is unusual in the consumerist culture we live in, but I don't see what I buy as an extension of who I am, or at least I don't take it personally if others choose something else.
 
Football team is a good analogy. I couldn't care less about other teams, nor their performance, as long as my team plays well then I'm happy. I don't care if someone supports another team, the performance of my team is what I enjoy.
 
Does that make more sense to you?

I perfectly understand you.  I think maybe mental was too strong a word.  I was saying that most people are not like you is all .  Was trying to explain why people defend things the way they do is all.
