Wanted: Volunteers to make OS4 and MOS hardware entries for Big Book of Amiga Hardw

[SysAdmin]

Always been the problem with Amigans, Itix.  The "our" mentality.  Like the NG guys and guys that use emulation are the lepers of the bunch.  It's always been part of the Amiga curse and it stinks.

We're all on the same boat, Lads.  NG, classic, emulation, whatever it is - you should be damned thankful there's even an Amiga scene *left",  rather than driving wedges over stupid semantics like "baww, those new school guys wanna put their poopy new pics and info on *our* site!".  Use what you enjoy.  I'd love to hear your experiences with it, even if I use a different method at getting my "Amiga" fix.

My logic?  If someone goes there (BBOAH or elsewhere) after 20 years of being out of the Amiga scene, and sees something that sparks his interest, classic or NG - that gets him back into the Amiga?  Godspeed to him.  Information is power.  I'm happy to get another Amigan back into the fold, whether he uses an A500, an X1000, or a MOS rig.

Find it ironic that no one has issues with the completely vaporware or prototype stuff, or the oddball kiosk stuff that *really* has no overlap to the dear classics on BBOAH, but they fudge their undies at the mere mention of NG hardware.  "TAINTED, TAINTED!!!  I CALL THEE TAINTED!!!"

I'd be amused if it wasn't just so damned predictable, really.  Guess the major thing missed in all of this was the "if this link doesn't pertain to you, don't click it!" ideal.

Truth of the matter is, Vox merely asked for help doing sections on the NG stuff.  Instead everyone went into this Holy War mode and went into the usual tirade.  Vox, if you still plan on adding this info (and I hope you do), I'd be happy to help you, as I own a SAM 440 and a MOS Mac (as well as an A1200).
