Quote from: Franko;623736
As that video was from 2002, I wonder what quotes he would use now from the divide Amiga Community if he were too make a new one...

Reckon it would look like an epside from The World At War just without the tanks & aircraft... :)

(probably most if it would be taken up with quotes about the iPad and stuff like Linuk & Ubuntu... :()


Franko, you hit it right on!

I was very enthusiastic about the Amiga but left it back in the early 90's because while all my friends were having fun playing all the cool new games on their PC's (Wing Commander, Comanche, etc.) all my Amiga friends, instead of just facing facts and enjoying our niche machines and what they could do, were constantly bitching "PC's suck, PC's can't do that and Amiga can do this, Microsoft sucks, Apple sucks, were the best" yada, yada, yada.  I just got sick of the negativety and left.

I have been back for a couple of years now, brought on mainly by nostalgia for the Amiga and I love playing with my machines but i STILL see much of the same old retoric again and again now many years later.  Instead of users helping users enjoy and understand our 'classic' hardware, so much time is wasted with just hateful arguing and 'what ifs'.  Its like a bad divorce where the parties involved just never move on.... sad. Sheesh, we lost can't we just move on.... that will never happen.

I believe that if you're using OSX Leopard, you can use 'Time Machine' to back up your entire disk.  

Despite my griping about Apple, they do have some really cool features.
