upgrade!


I think I will  upgrade... from an Amiga 500 to an Amiga 1200.

If I want the "Microsoft Windows experience", I can easily just get a rectal examination. Using Windows always feels like you're getting something uncomfortable shoved up your ass. At least the doctor uses lubricant and isn't searching your rectum for spyware.

I don't think Chrizz is trolling. He's just a bit confused and has an unfortunate "multiple-posting disability". (or is it more politically correct these days to say "single-post challenged"?)

He may have a point about other OSes being locked-out... if this stupid "video-bloatware" becomes popular and only runs on Vista. And he has a point about OS 4 being obsolete before it's even released.

The point he doesn't seem to get is that people who use retro machines don't give a rat's ass if they are "behind the times". That's the whole point.

And who needs any of the latest flashy video crap anyway? I prefer NOT to see tons of flash/video advertisements while browsing because it's extremely distracting. It's much easier to read when you don't see a bunch of annoying flashing things out of the corner of your eye.

My Amiga does just about everything I need a computer for (...and unlike Windows, it does what I tell it - not the other way around). As long as my Amiga is useful to me, I'll use it.

Oh wait! Now I understand. He works for Microsoft Sales! An intensive internet scan has found that some people here are using "non-standard" operating systems (meaning "non-Windows") and Microsoft Sales has a goal of 100% conformity.

Microsoft has risen above many OS problems with Vista. It's just a very mature OS for now very mature hardware.


Does Vista still have a registry? If so, Windows hasn't even risen above its most basic design flaw.

I'm going a little off topic here, but...

The FBI and similar warnings on DVD's are a pet peeve of mine. I know I'm not supposed to copy a disc. I don't need some people telling me I shouldn't do bad stuff every time I put my original DVD in the player.


Yes, those FBI warnings really piss me off. First of all, being a Canadian, I don't want to be continually "warned" by an American government agency which only has jurisdiction inside the United States (of course, the Americans assume they can illegally go into any country they want). Second, why do I need this warning flashed in my face every time I insert a disc? Most times you can't skip it. I think after seeing it a few thousand times I don't need to keep seeing it.

(rant over... I can relax now :-))
