When I grow up, I want to be able to put in this much snark into my posts :lol:

Man that is epic, cheers for the chuckle :D
yeah, that was quite brilliant.

and to that tax idiot, I would add: this "toy" also generated Emmy Awards so he can just go suck it.

so to speak  :)

You know whats really funny..?

That fact that he was right..

And I don't care how much flame you guys bring in the next replies.
but it IS A TOY because my iphone has more power than your Amiga 1200.
and if my iphone is a toy which it is, how can the Amiga not be.

So you can try to hold on to the niche of it all for as long as you want.
In reality though, which is where the inspector was.

They ARE just a toy. a very expensive toy...

And whatever they "could" do 20 years ago they "can't" do now.


there's hole in your "logic".
The computers NASA used to get people to the Moon don't have the power of the laptop I'm typing this post on. and YET, they worked well enough for this VERY important - possibly the most important - event in human history.

you can call any device a 'toy' but the bottom line is that it's the person(s) using that device that really get the most out of it.

da Vinci using a pencil is not the same as all of us reading here using that same pencil. Everyone using the Amiga just as a toy is simply proving their lack of imagination and talent. It's wasted on them.
