Are you saying that is happening in the here and now at AW.net?  Or does your accusation only relate to when the original AmigaOne was introduced?


The latter.

To be clear, I was actually on the original AW.net site when it was just a member page for the IRC channel on Undernet before the exodus occurred.

TMHG and leander are 2 guys I respect, I believe I own leanders old 3k (nice chain drilling BTW ;) )


You got it from Robert? When I passed her onto him she was all original parts. Although in desperate need of a replacement PSU (it sounded like a camera flash charging up when you turned her on - the caps were that badly stuffed) so not guilty on that one ;) Also ta and likewise :)

 but you cannot come on here spouting you ill informed views and ignoring the past without winding up the locals. There are certain people that are still in the Amiga world that drove the community to its various camps (at least 2 were at VCF) and they cannot be forgiven for their past actions.

If you don't want to be called up on every post, I respectfully suggest you return to where you views are more sympathetically received.


Hear hear.

So this went from arguing about the equipment to arguing about OS4 vs MorphOS to arguing about forum vs forum flamewars.


Flamewars? You must be new here! :lol:

Seriously though, if you want to see genuine flame wars, take a gander at the archives circa 2004. Now those were flamewars! :eek:

This makes windows/linux discussions look mature and well reasoned.


Obviously never been to Ars, or /. or OSNews. :laughing:

Be careful, I said something like that and got roasted :flame:


True enough, makes a change for me to be watching it rather than experiencing it however :roflmao:

Is this one of those "knowledge mankind was not meant to view" situations where things will reach out of the monitor and do bad things to me?


:lol:

Your prescience serves you well.

So what are next weeks lotto numbers? ;)
