Amiga guilt and time distortion.

[desiv]

I don't think the "thousands" mattered at all..
WordPerfect was a huge deal....
And there were alternate solutions for most everything else that were pretty good..
But, in my mind, it comes down to MS.
No MS Word.  No MS Excel.
2 platforms had those.  Windows and Mac.
2 platforms survived..
I'm not a fan per se (although Word 4 for the Mac was awesome..), and not everyone had to "use" those in business.  But it sure seemed like you had to "have" it available to be taken seriously...

 How about the first post in this thread...
...What you do is chime in over and over with passive aggressive comments about how x86 makes no sense.

Didn't see that anywhere in his first post???

How a company that has announced Amiga compatible computers branded as Amiga have no connection to Amiga because they are on x86 processors.

Again.. er.. where in his post did he say that??
 :confused:  :confused:  :confused:

Am I reading a different first post than you??

I added a couple of carriage returns for clarity.

Ah!  :-)

Do you think that runequester really believes that x86 solves everything?

Not at all..  

Or do you think he was being sarcastic...

Definitely!!

.. in an attempt passively aggressively say that x86 isn't worthy?

No... I thought he was being sarcastic to point out how some people take this stuff way too seriously, with an underlying theory that it was mostly people who feel guilty because they left the Amiga and are over-justifying..

Do you think that he believe anyone actually thought PPC sucked at the time, or do you think he was passive aggressively implying that it is better than it is?

Didn't really get a feel for his PPC feelings, but I didn't read this stuff too seriously..  I saw (I thought) a bit of a tongue-in-cheek jab and based my reading of the thread on that..

As for his comment about CUSA Amigas not being Amigas, that he repeatedly invades CUSA threads to post this in his passive aggressive attempt to discredit them.

I don't really read those threads too much, so I haven't paid attention to his opinion on that..
Lots of people have very vibrant opinions on that matter...
Personally, I think most of that is pretty silly on all sides, but that's me..

Acknowledging that many newer operating systems and hardware architectures are superior to the Amiga in most regards mostly don't start any "negative piss fests."

Oh..  You must be new here...
Welcome..

So riddle me this: Why did I start a thread a few months back, speaking positively of the notion of a linux based "amiga like" OS, if I am such a die hard 68K zealot?

Yes, exactly...
Why did you???
It could be that you have been planning this all along...
Months worth of planting false information...
Leading up to this moment!!!  When you show your true colors!!!!
AHA!!

I bet you don't even like Linux..  That's all a sham!!!
You're probably a BSD fanboi too...   Even worse..  DragonFly BSD...
I should have known...  

Well played Runequester..  Well played...
