The coolest thing I've seen this week

[uncharted]

Yesterday, I got my hands on one of the coolest pieces of tech on the planet - Powerful, faultlessly designed and engineered, sexy even.

But seriously, it doesn't even compare with how cool this is.

Some days, I wonder why I still bother with Amiga stuff.  This is not one of those days. :-)

Well I deliberately decided not to mention the other "cool thing" as it might be a controversial thing around these parts and I didn't want to draw attention away from the real subject by attracting a bunch of narrow-minded idiots raving on about how they hate XYZ.

But seeing as you asked.. I got one of these.

I genuinely found that screenshot to be way cooler.  That looks great for a 16 colour screen running on 16-year old hardware.  For all the shiny, swooshy effects that you get in the big 3 OSes these days, the hard work and attention to detail that people pushing the low-end show impresses me far more.

 Have you regretted that you made this thread?

Very much so.  Perhaps people can see why I didn't mention the 'other thing' in my original post.

The irony of course is that the whole point of the thread was how cool Amiga stuff can be in comparison with the latest stuff.  I was saying that I found the SabreMSN piccy COOLER than the MacBook. I guess some people are too {bleep}ing stupid to read something properly.

Today is a different day to yesterday. :-(

No need to apologise, it's just the usual HBK (Hide Behind a Keyboard) Syndrome.  The only thing that annoyed me is that the original intent of the thread has been lost several times over.  I really started the thread because I wanted to talk Miggy, nothing else.  It was supposed to be about how cool that screenshot is (or at least how cool I think it is).  

If it wasn't for the fact that my original post seemed to confuse people, I would never dared use the 'M' word.

Still, as someone else pointed out earlier - it's not my place to say what people post, if going over the same old Mac R0xx0r / Mac Suxx0r  chestnut floats their boats, who am I to stop them?

Hmmm...  Seems Andy was asking for it.  :-P

Fair play sir.  :-D  That sentence was the fruit of bitter experience of the rabid frenzy some people get themselves into at the mere mention of the 'M' word.

You must admit though, it's a frightenly accurate description of certain participants. :-)
