Amiga guilt and time distortion.

[nicholas]

hmm, iv'e been on here since the 90's, so i can't be making it go downhill that fast.
my post history shows me helping people out, welcoming new starters, and giving away hardware.  i'll go through yours and get back to you. I expect it will have giant waffling paragraphs of shite. just like the ones you just posted.

Too many new users who haven't even touched an Amiga since the 90's, let alone contributed anything useful to the community are the reason this place is going downhill recently.

Cheers mate But still no one replied to my A4000 questions ;(

Which ones?

Point me in the right direction and I'll do my best for you.

You fail reading comprehension. If you want to dredge up the CUSA crap again, my question at that point was what a PC in a C64 case has to do with amiga.

The answer at the time was that at some unspecified future point, they'll sell a computer titled an amiga, which will run some sort of OS that is going to be amiga-like. As I said /repeatedly/ in that thread, once they sell an amiga product, I think they should have a section on amiga.org, just like AROS, Morph OS etc.

It has fuck all to do with the processor type.



So you have nothing, other than whining?
Given that you seem to follow me around now, it seems you think quite a lot of my opinion. I suppose that's flattering.



My post had exactly nothing negative about x86 in it, and you know it.

Lets examine what I posted.

The only thing that is remotely negative is that yes, in the 80's PCs were wicked expensive, they generally ran windows 3.1, and PC speaker sucked.

Care to refute these points? Or have you dug yourself so far into fantasy land that you can't distinguish between facts and imaginary attacks ?


Since you claim you know exactly what I mean, you know damn well what I intended. As I have posted /in this very thread/ this isn't about amiga being superior. It's about being able to have a conversation without the same "commodore failed because of XXX" "amiga sucked because of XXX" crap that comes up every single time.

Yes, we all know that AGA was slow, and that commodore had bad marketing and that the 1200 wasnt powerfull enough and that windows 95 sold monstrously well.
It all doesn't matter anymore. It's 2011. Everyone else moved on.
Why keep dredging up the same crap over and over and over and over again?

I've found the ignore feature to be very useful recently mate.  I recommend it highly!

Ahhhh!!! So you're an ARM guy! Good call, we will stamp out these deluded x86 and PPC/68k losers!

Damn you ARM heretics, 65C816 is the one true CPU architecture!

This needs it's own thread. Runequester...you know what to do!

Amithlon with a bare minimum 68k AROS kickstart and a 686-BE compiled AROS userland would be lovely methinks.

Dunno what this thread is about.  BTW which browser is best for DOS 3.3 ?

That would be Arachne.

My 33MHz Commodore 486 with Gravis Ultrasound and Tseng Labs SVGA card wiped the floor with my expanded A1200 in '94/95.

It was cheaper too.

[nicholas]

Yeah, but what system do you still have and play around with
