By all means and purposes he actually is the "owner". All we know the owner could be some former executive or the santa claus (or frigment of his imagination). Bill Panagouleas will be calling the shots.

I don't think I feel very comfortable about the idea.
are you saying Wayne is lying???

I really think that is unfair.

Are you saying I am?


you are making stuff up with no facts. I like a entertaining fiction as much as the next person, but I know the difference between reality and fantasy.

In the post I am referring to you directly questioned Wayne's truthfulness. Frankly I think that is uncalled for.

I'm really jealous of some of the people posting in this thread. I wish my life were so simple and uneventful that I had to make such a big deal over something so insignificant. It must be nice to have so little stress in your life!

This show was planned for weeks, its like ordering a birthday clown, hyping it for a while to all your friends, all your friends friends, etc. Only to have a worn out alcoholic stand in show up. Rich got stood up here, everything was planned, everyone though we were golden, then it fracked it self for whatever reason that might be. Rich had to save the show, he deserves credit for that, even if some might feel that the language was harsh im sure people have had plans go down the drain in one way or another at some point. And its not always a good happy comfy little accompanying feeling when shit does go wrong. And as a professional talk show host, im sure Rich felt obliged to deliver what has been hyped for the past few weeks, who wouldnt?. And as he said, he had better tings to do then have an interview with a guest thats not around.

While the cursing was exploding out of my speakers I thought I was hearing the Great Howard Stern yelling at his staff for something stupid they just did. :furious:   I found it all very entertaining, frankly. It was real. And i can totally appreciate being let down when a guest has promised to come on.

but the guys didn't dwell on that. they continued on. as we all should.

Where do you get off saying it was uninformative or whatever anyway, did i misinterpret that? I found the interview with Wayne & Joe extremely interesting and informative, atleast :S

I agree! I just listened to the Roundtable last night (because Some of us have a life and are busy) :) and really enjoyed the show and was riveted by what they were saying. I also recall Joe showing me his blue LED (HAHA) - me and half the population, i suspect.

Oh please Cecilia: Please DO "tell all" !
I'm proud to admit I showed you my wares!
(I have pix, so bring it woman!)  8*D
Good times, good times...
...But just to correct the record: My showing off of a "Blue-LED" as a novelty for attention back around 1987, when the LEDs cost over $40 dollars EACH, and were only used in medical devices (Zaney, but I bought two of them from Phillips).  

I think you have a memory of me showing you not a Blue, but rather an UltraViolet LED.

 The most recent escapade of me showing an exotic LED was (before most of the public had seen them) the UltraViolet LEDs (390um) that I brought to Kermit Woodall's Amiga Expo show in Baltimore 2002.  At the Expo I popped many new "LED cherries" with all the assembled guests - NOBODY had ever seen a UV-LED before!
Fortunately, I brought dozens of the UV-LEDs and gave most of them away to fellow hackers, (WITH a color warning sticker that I'd printed about them not being eye-safe!).
 
When they have X-Ray LEDs, I will be the first person you know to get and show them around to others!
AH! you are Correct!

My visual memory (which is better than my verbal memory) makes me recall a very light bluish color on the LED - which would kinda make sense as they were UltraViolet and not really BLUE

anyway, good job on the interview. I know how hard it is to remember details when you are 'on the spot'

it's good to have this kind of Amiga History being documented.

Erm, isn't the spell checker a feature of your browser, rather than a feature of the site?

yes, it is - and i LOVE it!!  
Quote from: the_leander;532236
For whatever reason, Opera doesn't seem to enable the spell checker in the quick reply box. I'm guessing it sees it as something other then a standard text input box - perhaps similar to the title text box (where the spell checker also doesn't work.)


Quote from: Karlos;532238
The quick reply box is just a text area. However, it is disabled by default and only enabled by a javascript call when you click quick reply. Perhaps when initially parsing the page, the browser doesn't bother to enable spell checking on fields it thinks aren't modifiable.

Either way, it seems to be a browser issue.


obviously, what's weird is that i Just noticed this. for some reason I thought this HAD been working. I just upgraded to Opera 10.10

in my linux i'm still using Opera 10.00 so when I boot into that I'll make a test and see if I just misremembered

in any case, before anyone accuses me of not keeping on an Amiga Topic let me remind people that I was introduced to Opera AT an Amiga convention BY an Amiga programmer


so THERE!  :lol:
