3.  You considered the A500 040/25 board.

It´s so insanely cool, a maxed out A500 in it´s orginal case(the proof of Doommasters mental illness, he put an A500 in a pc-tower) is the dream machine.
I would always choose a A500 040/25 board over an A1000.

9.  You seem to always say "but it's popular in Europe!".

I live in Europe :-)

14. Your main printer is a dot matrix.  And it's a 9 pin.

Not my main, but I have one working

28. You like MUI.

Ooops, guess quite a number of developers doesnt like Amigas:-)

30. You know all the models of the Amiga, including the ones never released.  Yes, that includes the CDTV II.

Doesn´t everybody? :-D
 

50. You tried the 2MB chip hack.

But not with a paperclip!
And not the pause button-hack.

51. You know Workbench 2.1 is missing narrator.device and translator.library.  You copied it over
    anyways.*

It isn´t an Amiga without it. Say was the only reason to boot WB in the good old days.

52. You run MagicWB and wonder where all your CHIP RAM is.

I don´t wonder about chipram, but I prefer MagicWB-icons over NewIcons or Glowicons.

57. You install pointless software, because it's fun.  Then, you wonder which program is crashing your machine sporadically.

I don´t wonder about it on Amiga, I find out which program it is. And this problem is much worse on pc.

64. You continually say a composite video signal path is not a problem.

Composite? :-?  I always use rgb-scart. Oh, I forgot Never The Same Color :lol:

Otherwise
1.  2. 4.  5. 10. 12. 13. 17. 38. 40. 41. 45. 46. 48. 55.
56.  60. 61. 62.

How about "You bought more than one Amiga games magazine in 1996"?

Remember, the choice was Amiga Power (which begged to die with dignity), Amiga Action (once memorably included 2 pages where the writer, fired to cut costs, slated everything about the magazine, the publishers, the writers and the rest, and it got printed.) and The One Amiga-Maverick edition.

I bought UK Amiga magazines, here in Sweden in the local supermarket. In those days we got those magazines here.
I think this is going to be a nostalgia thread.


Oh and I got to add

59. You write letters to the editors of publications that comment on the Amiga negatively, or ones that don't write for the Amiga.

Datormagazin which was the big swedish C64/Amiga magazine has been revived and is writing about winPC and Linux, although they had reports from the Amiga show in Gothenburg and even reviewed a Pegasos. And sometimes they write about Mac too.

46. You're miffed you can't argue with Atari ST users anymore.

What the amiga community needs is the infamous pc-idiots Aras&Axa who wrote to the lettercolumn of Svenska Hemdator Nytt(Swedish Homecomputer News) and claimed that a 386 with DOS was better than all other computers. Since SHN was a magazine for all kinds of homecomputers both pc, mac, Atari and Amiga the users off Atari, Mac and Amiga UNITED against the pc-freaks.
