Amiga fans. Want a nice laugh?

Proof if any were needed that you can't keep a good troll down.  They'll use any opportunity for a damn good troll and Ebay appears to be it - maybe DM's been banned from some more forums?

Ooohhhh!!! I am happy that I post this reply from a low-quality-junkie A4000 then! LOL
This Ebay ad has opened my eyes: I love crap! Especially when it has a Cyberstorm, it surfs the web by DSL, etc...
I'd better stop laughing before my mouth hurts too much.

Yeah, his attitude on here was to refer to the machines that 95% of posters here use as "pieces of crap", which hardly endeared him to many.

Then he'd log on under a different name and ask "can I run MPEG/Mp3/install a CD ROM etc on my A2000 series professional computer?".  Other trademarks were to log on under yet another identity and post a rant extolling the virtues of the A2k and then claim he was a personal "friend" of DM.

I really thought and wanted to believe that he'd turned over a new leaf but I guess I was wrong, much to my disappointment.

I did get that impression of him, that he'd be okay one minute and then turn the next before shouting "Stop picking on me!" when ever anyone responded to his abuse.

I've known people like that all my life from the school playground through to the workplace.  Oh well, he's not going to be bothering anyone from here from now on.

Yeah, I often find that using 3mm and 4mm screws and bolts makes all the difference to a quality product.  

Like I once said before, I have my own experiences of "High quality German engineering", having owned two Wolfsburg built VWs.  One broke down twice, the other threw an expensive mechanical strop every three months (you could actually set your watch by it - how's that for precision engineering?).  Oh, and my brother's (brand new) Osnabruck built VW Corrados broke down twice each...  

Not wishing to insult any German readers here, but "Made in Germany" is absolutely no guarantee of reliability.  IIRC Doomy made similar claims about British manufactured products, which anyone who's ever owned or driven a Solihull built Land/Range Rover will no doubt be howling with laughter at too.  Our Blackpool built TVRs carry on a fine tradition of mechanical fragility.

What's that old joke about the British no longer making color (colour for you folks) TVs because they couldn't figure out how to make 'em leak oil... :-D

:lol:  Yeah, now we make the retro-esque Mini which seems worryingly well bolted together.  I'm told that your Mini dealer can supply you with a retro pack for additional charge which consists of the following modifications for a real retro-Mini experience:

Your Mini will pee oil all over your driveway at night.

A packet of bolts is randomly emptied in between various body panels to give an authentic "rattle" which is impossible to trace or cure.

Upon delivering your Mini to a service centre, an 18 year old technician with a Brummie (Birmingham) accent will empty the sump of oil before driving your car through town like a maniac.  He will also have sex on your back seat.

The electronic system will be programmed to randomly shut down various vital systems including the electric windows, air conditioning, heater, fuel injection and stereo system.

Special paintwork will also be added which is a slightly different shade to the other adjacent panels and offers no corrosion resistance whatsoever.
