I had people give me that same attitiude back in 1996.

Just in the past hour I've had a visit from my Local Governments Dept Council Tax  Inspector. The snidey little toad was here to see if some building work I have done, would put my house into a higher bracket for the payments of my Council Tax.

Anyway, while he was in my home he commented on the two A1200's that I have in bit's just now spread all over my kitchen worktops and floor. His comments were, 'I haven't seen one of those toys in years, my kids used to have one but grew out of them when they went to high school' I pointed out to him that the Amiga was 'not a toy' and began to point out the merits of the Amiga computer.

He then had the cheek to say 'but yes, in this day and age no-one would seriously use one of those let alone call it a computer', at this point I promptly told him to shut his ruddy cakehole do his inspection job and bugger off... :madashell:

Talk about being peed off, reckon the little jobby wil now put me in the higher Council Tax bracket for telling him where to go... :furious:

(hope his poxy laptop he had with him breaks down and he loses all his data... :))
