Some of us lived through well over a decade of false promise, vaporware, company stupidity and out-right lies. As such many wouldn't piss on Amiga.com etc. if it were on fire.

Like wise we have seen others like UAE, Aros, Pagasos, Minimig, and others actually do some incredible stuff. But we don't agree which direction is best (just like the old days with PPC, Alpha, etc.)

Call it jaded. Enthusiasm sometimes comes off as idiotic. New projects are spurned as we don't want to get our hopes up. (natami)


QFMFT

Pretty much sums up my own feelings on the matter in their entirety. I'd write something more personal, unfortunately this thread has come post the first decent pub session I've had in 3 years. :)

:lol: Some of that was gold!


I miss PMC :(

And yes, this was pretty tame compared to some of the stuff of that era. :D

Fun times.

Idea!

Let's ban all the moderators and site owners until such time as they learn to behave with the church-like demeanor DEMANDED by such a life-or-deathly subject as our own personal Jesus.  The one, the only, the omnipotent, ever-conquering, be-all, end-all, mil-spec Commodore Amiga computer.

Yeah, that'll fix everything.  :)


Man, when I grow up, I want to be able to put that much snark into a reply :roflmao:

Cheers Wayne for that, I'm still chuckling 5 minutes after reading it :D
