If this is a bluff, I'm gonna call it, PM sent :-)

does it really matter?

whatever the name, this is basically a person interested in amiga - something we all have in common.

anyway, you seem perfectly at ease talking to me all this time and I have Emmys.  :-D

[cecilia]

Are they painful? You should see a doctor

har har - it was "painful" getting them, but i'm happy I have them now.
anyway, a team of special effects people share the emmy. that's the way it works. the academy isn't going to go and make a dozen or so individual statues for everybody.

they already have to make about hundred or so at a shot. it's not like there's a factory in korea or something. :lol:

oh, and as to the topic, when i was in LA I recall seeing Dick van Dyke at one of the many amiga/toaster meetings i would attend. I know he had a toaster and was very interested in amiga.

he had some amiga animations made for the TV show he was on at the time. (I don't remember all the details - it was a long time ago)

and, no, i didn't run up and talk to him. i'm not like that. i respect people's privacy.

I must just be you cecilia :-P
Besides, its not like you came here and announced yourself as someone famous.

i know some people think i'm a giant egotist, :lol: but honestly, i'm just a regular person.

I'd prefer NOT to be "famous", actually.
many years ago at the start of my career I had a few illos published in a book and I was at this convention coincidently with the writer/editor of said book.

we ended up sitting at a table with people asking us to sign their copy of this book. it was a really weird feeling.
I really like being behind the scenes. I like working as the crew on a set or making special effects. it feels right to me. I like that millions have seen my work but don't know my name.

If it is Ted Danson and he wants to talk Amiga, I'll welcome him as I would any other Amiga user, because at the end of the day, he just another person with whom I share this planet. However, if it isn't the real Ted Danson, then I'm sure the real Ted Danson wouldn't be all that happy.

well, maybe not. after all, it's just a message board. it's not like anyone is asking you for money.

I wouldn't worry about it.

No. This is the real Ted Danson. I have absolutely nothing to do with CU_AMiGA. Anyway, who is Sumner and who is JonoPike?

they are just a couple of pranksters, pay no attention. we are just having a bit of fun. :lol:

anyway, what I'm interested in is what is it you like about AmigaOne and OS4 (aside from the obvious, ie. it's amiga but faster).

I don't have an amigaone or a Micro yet but I've seen others at amiga meetings. very nice indeed. not perfect, but improving everyday. (those beta-testers are hard at work!)

have you gone to any amiga meetings? what are you using your amiga for right now and what do you wish to do with it?

If you really are Ted, I pity you in this much; you'll probably have give DNA tests to convince the skeptics here :-D

yeah, lets' start all taking DNA tests! are YOU the REAL KARLOS??
who's the guy behind the sheep?
(well, it can ONLY be Karlos!) :-D

Alternatively, you could show a recent picture of yourself with an amiga (if you have one handy). People like cecilia would spot a doctored photograph in seconds. I should know, even my most skilled forgery* didn't get past her :lol:






*which might have something to do with the fact it was utter bollocks, but the point must stand :-D

:roflmao:
that's right, nothing gets past the Roto Goddess!

am i understanding you right and you are using OS3.0  ?

is there any reason why you aren't using OS3.9??

the upgrade actually speeded up my amiga2000 - with no change to any hardware at all.

if i misunderstood.....nevermind!
