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

Aren't you going to tell us what it was? :-)

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. :-)

Nice if you like IRC and MODs I suppose :-P

Andy saw something recently which he felt was extremely cool, but less so than the screenshot he posted. Since we don't know what the reference object is, we are unable to estimate the level of coolness which he has attributed to the screenshot ;-)

It's a screenshot of the AGA theme for SabreMSN. I expect Andy is referring to the fact that you can use this software on an AGA Amiga. I do think that's quite cool ;-)

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

Ok, I now officially hate you :-P I went to the Apple store today and had a play with the new MacBooks. I love the new trackpad, and they're seriously smart! Might have to sell my mum and get one. She's not doing me any favours anyway.

I genuinely found that screenshot to be way cooler.

Hmm, ok, you have that and I'll have your MacBook ;-)

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.

I agree to an extent, but I also like the comforts of OS X :-D

I think some people can't bear to think of others liking things that they don't. When they hear somebody talking about that thing, the only way they can come to terms with it is to assume that they are deluded, fanatic or stupid. It doesn't occur to them that other people are different to them, have different needs, and see value in different things to them.

It really surprises me to see this attitude here, since most of us have been on the receiving end of it when were derided for still using Amigas by people who would not allow themselves to be open to their benefits.

This thread is pathetic. Andy, I apologise on behalf of all the juvenile individuals in this thread who, for whatever reason, have a chip on their shoulder and are unable to accept that some people like different computers them.

Really, do you people have nothing better to do with your time than to insult others because of their choice of which computer to use? Grow up!
