We Doin' Any Good Here?

Hey Wayne!!! You forgot AROS!! :-P

[bloodline]

I can picture it now: Bloodline snuggles with his GF (you do have one, don't you?) and she asks him if there is another in his life. Bloodline automatically goes 'AROS!'---and is then politely () requested to sleep on the couch for the next few days.

Um... My (long suffering) girlfriend (of the non woolen type) has threatened on many occations to "thow that bloody computer of of the F**king window".

After Bloodline's time in the moral realm has come to an end, the Great Sock calls upon him and asks him if Bloodline ever worshipped a different god. Bloodline: 'AROS!'. Upon which the Sock casts him into the deepest levels of Sock Hell, filled with sweaty, unwashed sport socks, left to brew and fester and smell...

Ahhh, the good old sock... never fails to satisfy :hug:

Why is it that you guys invariably hijack every single topic and take it completely off-kilter?

Um... Sorry :-(

-Edit- In my defence, I did start my 64bit thread in the Coffee house even though it's a technical subject, I did that because I knew it would become a fun thread, of little use to those outside of the loop.

And, why aren't we challenging, on this very forum, the 'smarts' of the people who seem to spend way too much of their day on forums (!). There really are a lot of extremely smart, uber-intelligent and well-informed people who seem content to only shooting down other people’s ideas, and infighting with their peers. Maybe there should be a way that could put that brain trust to good use. What if there was a specifically a forum set up just for proto-typing, designing and hammering out the specs of various aspects of the different machine types within the newly formed 'Amiga' class.

One word:

Money

I think I see what you mean. So, say we developed, after several months, a new super-class of Amiga computers, and some part of them, or maybe even all of them, became highly do-able, and marketable. Would we then be reduced to fighing over who actually created the thing, and should get the kudos, credit, and monetary gain? Say it ain't so! Would we actually let that kill any chance the Amiga has, which, maybe, lies more here, on this forum (and forums like it), than anywhere else? Mein Gott! :-o

:lol: maybe...

No, the big problem is that no matter what we can come up with there is always going to be a company who can spend huge sums of money to do it better and get there before us... and there is several companies competing in each of the areas we would have to cover...
