..........I was only asking what others think about this comment that was made by someone whom I know has never used an Amiga in his life and assume his friends haven't either... :)
wow, isn't it sad that some people have never had the pleasure and honor to use an Amiga! We are the Elite.

linux is making inroads. it may seem slow like a glacier, but it is craving deep groves in the ground. These days I do most of my work in Ubuntu. I only use Windows for AfterEffects.

The problem is that the Amiga platform is the only "retro" platform that hasn't (in terms of its users) fully come to terms with its death yet.  Some of us still believe... or if not believe then fantasise... that the Amiga could come back.  This is because there was so much potential for the Amiga brand, even after Commodore's death.  Unfortunately the potential was squandered.  But a lot of us are still waiting or dreaming of the Amiga's rise from the ashes.  We've had a lot of promises along the way that have kept the fire of hope going.

if some people were looking at computer platforms as a race, maybe this is how they feel.

However, I feel that for me, Amiga was the great success of my life. It was THE most important career decision I ever made. My career would have been over if I had not bought my A2000 in 1989.

It lead to my achievements, and the best work of my life. For ME Amiga has been nothing but positive. But that's because i saw the potential and USED it to my advantage.

I don't want to be mean, but if others didn't do that, who's fault is that?

A computer - all of them - are tools. What matters is what you do with that tool.

Wow... the sarcasm really hurts... ooh the pain... :rolleyes:

no sarcasm. I am dead serious.

learning how to use a computer on an Amiga teaches you something special. I can't put it into words, but I know it taught ME something

Speaking of "funny as hell"...

Anyone catch Fleecy Moss' profile on Facebook?  Particularly the pictures of him in drag?  What a hoot.  If you don't believe me, go to FB and search for Fleecy Moss, then check out his photos.

:laughing: men in drag is always funny

Apologies cecillia, I thought it was one of the grumpy brigade having another go at me... sorry... :)
no problem. posting can't let you see or hear the person, so I make allowances for that. my post on 207 (I think that's where it is) says it best at this point.

This should give you the proper perspective on the "live vs dead" issue, and just keep doing what you've been doing.

looking at posts after this I realize you are referring to drugs. this will do me no good as I have never taken drugs nor do I have any interest in it.
I like my brain working at 100% efficiency.

I also think drugs should be legal because it would cost society less to make drugs a personal issue or a medical issue (for those with problems) than create a black market which just encourages criminals to make a profit
