A sad day

I'm just not interested in using a cpu with a crippled fpu.

So no Vampire then :roflmao:

@Motormouth
The Scottish, Welsh and Irish are  primarily from Celtic ancestry while the English are Anglo-Saxon. They  each speak different languages though English is now the common  language. They have different traditions and yet we have a common  history going back hundreds of years.

And the vikings? When are you going to mention the vikings? Why have you not mentioned the vikings? Don't you think it is about time you mention the vikings? What would the British islands and language been without the vikings? You know... the vikings? :laughing:

Yes, Wales isn't directly  represented on the Union Flag

Because Wales is as much part of the union as Gibraltar is - the Kingdoms that are united are those of Scotland and England.

Does that make more sense?

You don't make much sense on this issue, no, sorry. Hopefully the UK is soon a thing of the past - good riddance.

A conflicted Pakistani/Englishman by the look of your logo.

I suppose the Engli-stan bit threw me off and I thought of Paki-stan.

Quiz - what does "stan" mean? :hammer:

[kolla]

Okay, please stop this now.

Why? Finally a fun thread!

most applications don't even use FPU

Having spent large parts of the weekend getting a couple of Vampired Amiga systems up to speed, I can only say that there is more software around expecting FPU than you would think. There is even software that has specifically "non FPU" builds, that still bugs out with 8000 000B on the Vampire.

BTW - All of you, I miss Frank. But then, I miss Cammy too (who, btw, like me is a friend of Franko's).

What I miss, is tolerance for other directions in all things Amiga.
AND, a good argument (not a stupid one).

Hear hear. I also miss Franko. I used to communicate with him on Facebook for quite some time, but lately he's been very quiet there as well. Though, every now and then, some of his friends and family tag him on a photo, I think he has just decided to spend his time being a grandfather and family man

Not to mention the French.  1066 and all that.

Ah, but were they really French?

[kolla]

I think you'll find they were Nor(se)mans ...

Yes, another word for vikings To this day, a person from Norway is called "nordmann/norrman/nordmand/norðmann" in the Scandinavian languages.
