We're all just waiting for a major plague to hit, so we can have our Zombie Amigas rise up and slay the Windows based crap that is out there!


Not sure if you just being a smarty pants or not, but this is a classic example of why people outside of the community think of us as a bunch of nutjobs. Simply put, the way the rest of the world sees it, Windows has won the home computer war, Mac is making a comback (shudder) but they are still a loooong way off. Now, to put things into perspective, when an Amiga nutjob starts shooting his mouth off about how great the Amiga is and how crap Windows is, common sense kicks in and says; "Hang on, if the Amiga is so great, why did it die off nearly 20 years ago?". Just sayin' is all...

Now? This is nothing! Everything is zen now compared to years gone by online. If I had to put a finger on the worst, most ugly year, it would have to be about 2003.


Ah yes, 2003, the great purge :lol: Those were funny days, dead butterflies and burst boing balls a plenty...

Never understood why people have a problem with "off topic" threads and chit chat, thought we were all here because we share a common interest? Who cares what we talk about. Remember, if you don't like what you see, don't read it. Simple :)

Humorously (not the fake BS word "funnily" you ill-bret brits!), the Coffee House forums -- also known as the "DMZ" were created way back when because of people bitching and whining about off-topic posts on the forums.

So, it's a case of can't win.  Those who want the CH forums don't use them, and those who don't use them bitch about off-topic posts.

The major problem I think -- now as an outsider -- is that everyone takes themselves too damned seriously for what is -- in no uncertain terms -- a hobby for what is now widely considered a "toy computer".

If everyone would just chill out and relax, we'd all have a much better time of it.

There can be a lot of negativity and flaming here, but personally I have received a lot of good help and advice here on getting back into the Amiga again.

Care to provide an example of said flaming? Geez, we can't even have a frank (no pun intended) discussion anymore without being accused of flaming :rolleyes:

When I get high
I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's
A drug for me

My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart

Always got the cops
Coming after me
Custom built bike
Doing 103

My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart

Ooh, are you ready girls?
Ooh, are you ready now?

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

Skydive naked
From an aeroplane
Or a lady with a
Body from outerspace

My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart

Say I got trouble
Trouble in my eyes
I'm just looking for
Another good time

My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart

Yeah, are you ready girls?
Yeah, are you ready now?

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

Kickstart my heart

When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by
I'd say we've kicked some ass

When I'm enraged
Or hittin' the stage
Adrenaline rushing
Through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass

Ooo, ahh
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
And to think, we did it all of this to rock

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah



Pun intended!
