@ Iggy

OK so you love eye candy, you have my sympathies...;)

Dunno what you mean by "As NG hardware becomes more powerful and our emulation of your hardware" !!!

Do you actually make the hardware & write the emulators ???

I don't need an excuse, I wouldn't run an Amiga emulator if it were the last option left to me, simple as... :)

AGA may be crappy to to and your entitled to your opinion, just as I am entitled to my opinion that you don't have gibber some keech...;)

And as your not using an Amiga, your opinion doesn't count with me... :)

Whether I wound you or not is not my fault, sorry but when someone disses the Amiga like you have being doing here the I shall certainly voice my opinion as to how I feel about such views.

OK so you developed or have developed hardware, you miss the point entirely here, the original question asked by the thread starter was "Am I the only one who doesn't hate AGA" it was not asking about what your opinion was of everything that is wrong with AGA, that's in the other thread someone started.

I don't dismiss your approach to things, I do dismiss however your opinions on Amiga hardware and what has me using a Mac to be on the internet anything to do with my use of an Amiga. I've lived perfectly happily since 1982 using Commodore computers and until June of this year never being on the internet. Soon enough I shall be going back to living that way, so that should cheer you up at least.

I wasn't patronising you, I know next to nothing about you I was simply asking you a question which you have now answered, thank you.

What has being 3 years older than me go to do with things !. I'll keep using my Amigas which are far from being just toys but again it begs the question if you hate so much about the Amiga and all it's shortcomings and now consider it as nothing more than a mere toy then why the hell do you bother with it so much.

You go ahead and help create the next Amiga and best of luck to you, but from the new thread you've just started it won't be much of an Amiga if you have your way especially when you say "by eliminating some backward compatibility". The X1000 and the stuff Commodore USA are doing have that corner of the market covered allready.

Sorry you hold the Amiga in such low regard but to me it's been the best home computer I've had the honour and joy of using and always will be until the day I shuffle off this mortal coil, but then that's just me and the way I like things... :)

And again, your use of a Mac? Didn't you refer to them as 'crappy'? At least my Mac is running an Amiga compatible OS.


Dunno what your fascination is with me using a MAC is (must be a fetish or something...) however yes I do consider them as "crappy" in fact I'd go as far to say they are almost as bad as a PC and that coming from me is as low as I can call something... :)

Ooooh, na na na na na says Iggy "At least my Macs is running an Amiga compatible OS"...

well my haggis could duff up your haggis with it's three legs tied behind its back... so there... :p

Seriously, its conversations like you 2 are having that make me wonder why Im here.....


Don't worry I've been asking myself that same question for nearly 47 years now, the best answer I can come up  with is, me dad obviously wasn't wearing a condom... :)

@ gertsy & motoroliin

It was early doors and I was still half asleep (I'd only woke up to go for a pee) when my big nose began twitching with an AGA dissing alert and me automatic defence reactions sprang to life... :)

Next thing you know two old codgers are battling it out in the latest episode of Grandad Wars - The Battle For AGA, and the result is the bloody battlefield of half chewed posts you see scattered here all over the org... :)

(PS:I'm in neither hemisphere... I'm currently floating gently in the upper stratosphere... :afro:)
