A good way of knowing what die hard mac and pc fans think of us Amiga users is in the comment section of my YouTube videos I have up of I'm a PC, I'm a Mac and I'm Amiga Advert spoofs, some like it, some really hate it. Here is a perfect example of one debate I had.


- drbilly100  get overit amiga is dead, 20,000 fanbase worldwide if that its a dead format, no software no new hardware. Keep living your pipe dream .face the facts mac and pc are here and amiga died a long long time ago

-my reply = Just show you how much you know. New hardware is on the way, Beta boards are starting to ship, AmigaOS4.1 is getting more updates, Open Office and Firefox are being ported, various other games and software title haven been ported or being worked on, we may be a small community but where a very active one. So the amiga is not dead, Get over it!

- drbilly100 yeah yeah heard it all before in the last 17 years vapourware mate lol the company that are making the X1000 are a tiny british company and if u haven't noticed there is a double dip recssion soon to come in the uk right now they will go bust by next year guarantee. Amiga died in 1993/94 when commodore went brankrupt..its never coming back deal with it ..you have to grow up sometime you cant be a teenager forever.25,000 users is pretty laughable lol

-my reply =Why are so many people hostile to Amiga fans its just a hobby, I dont go around train spotter or other users groups saying it sad give it up, move on etc, this is my hobby, this is the machine I like to use and see be kept update even if it never makes a come back i dont care, these vids I just did for a bit of fun, the reason I still use an Amiga is because I still have fun on it, so tell why its such a problem that me and a few other people still have fun on an old computer.

There are tons more just like this inside the comment section about us Amiga users being mad, we need to grow up etc, I've just learned not to listen any more, I think anyone who tell you to give up your dream, hobby or love must be just jealous that you found something you enjoy and they haven't.

the vids
