Well Pat, joke was that "here in 2017, no one is going to carry around a mobile hotspot and a laptop just to shop for Amiga gear". Just like the SX-64, it's way too much to lug around. 
Sorry that attempt at humor went over your head, but as previously mentioned, more than 50% of all digital traffic online now comes from mobile devices (some surveys say as much as 80%). Just because *you* might have a sub-par mobile device doesn't mean the rest of the world does, nor are they willing to accept sub-par performance from them. For a web developer to not make their site compatible with mobile devices is just asinine, and will only cost them business. Again, as previously mentioned in this thread.
But, carry on, I'll look for you walking down the street, I'm sure I'll see you walking back all hunched over from dragging along that laptop and hotspot. :laughing:
I'm not the one bitching about a website being incompatible with my glitzy but useless for mobile browsing website device. That's because I'm smart enough to spot where the problem is. The problem is that bundled mobile browsers are crap.
Plus, it's handy carrying a netbook with a magnesium alloy case. Very useful hand to hand weapon occasionally. Also proof against most small arm rounds, which is not something that Apple have ever claimed for any of their products.
Tablets, schmablets. Fancy a duel to see who has the toughest tech?

Anyway, I don't see why the entire web has to be dumbed down for dumb technology. If people want to spend their money on non-compatible web technology they can do so. If they want to claim pre-eminence because they wasted a lot of money on crap, it just makes me laugh harder.
