Non-aligned comrades arise!

[nicholas]

If you live in one of the 120 nations that is a member of the Non-Aligned Movement please take photographs of your kitchen toaster sporting a boing ball logo and upload them to BBOAH (post them here too!), proudly knowing that your appliance is an officially sanctioned and legitimate* Amiga product in this wonderful co-operative economic bloc of 120 member nations.

I'm particularly interested in old kitchen toasters from Socijalistička Federativna Republika Jugoslavija / Социјалистичка Федеративна Република Југославија so please feel more than free to raid your Grandmothers kitchen if you live in one of the post-Jugoslav states.  Photos with a proud smiling granny holding her Amiga toaster will be even more appreciated.

As the CEO of Commodore Amiga Iran and sole legitimate owner of the Trademark "Amiga" in the Non-Aligned Movement, I hereby bestow unlimited and irrevocable licences upon the members of Amiga.org to retroactively apply the Amiga trademark to their own personal kitchen toaster and post photos and technical details on BBOAH.

Hvala ti puno!

Hehe :biglaugh:

If you can find an SFRJ era model I'll be one very happy chappy. We've asked our family in BiH but no one has one at all.

Amiga 500 budget Toster model by EI Nis ...

Now to add it to BBOAH

Yay!

But they only accept contributions from people who took the photo AFAIK.

This looks shopped.
I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

A great tradition in the NG Amiga business if ever there was one!

[nicholas]

That's because we all bought German toasters when the state collapsed

Best kitchen appliances were made by Slovenians (Gorenje) and since it was
them that led us all to ruins nobody would buy anything from them for a
while ...

Seriously , if AOS 4 zealots have taken over BBOAH I see no point in using the site anymore ... I'll just ignore those silly history rewrites :razz:

From what I hear most bought German when they could even before the collapse, especially the "exported workforce".

I won't tell my Slovenian friend what you said, I'll never hear the end of it, even if it is mostly true.

amiga.resource.cx is better anyway.

I have no idea what you're going on about here.  Have a picture of my desk, instead.  Can you spot the boing ball?

Nice workshop, I wish I had the room for one like that!

Its very nice we do share a common heritage.

Now, since it has been presented that its not my secret plan to update BBOAH (as I have claimed for the strart) I do believe you own me a BIG BIG public apology.

No, I am not gonna abused my granny and her toasters. NAM still exists, and I loved a visit to Park of Peace, Belgrade to recall their first Conference in Belgrade when all the world leaders have planted a tree of peace. Some of them are quite big and nice these days.

Beside that, ever heard of Abrahamic religions? Similarly to our situation, most common monotheistic religions
do share the same root and there are books that include all their prophets, similarities and differences.

One father Abraham (in our case Jay Miner) but many offsprings live up to this days.

Methinks you didn't even read the link in the post of mine you quoted.

Particularly the part that reads:

Should I as a Muslim who accepts Jesus Christ as the Messiah try to have Islamic stuff added to an encyclopedia of Christianity just because we have a shared heritage? No, it's a ridiculous idea just like this one.

The amount religion gets dragged into things on this site is getting very offputting :/

Perhaps you weren't told when you decided to join our community, Amiga *is* a religion.

But if you don't like people using analogies to demonstrate a point may I suggest therapy?

[nicholas]

*our* community, as in yours?  Guess those Amiga users groups meetings I went to in the late 80's, the half a dozen+ Amigas I have owned owned over the span of 23 years don't make me part of the exclusive boys club, eh...

Join date: 2009. So yes you are new to the amiga.org community but you missed the point entirely. I even used an emoticon to make it clear.

You're a real charmer, Nicolas.  Someone mentions the increasing religious talk is sorta weird and out of place on a computer forums site, and you crack out the idea that they should have their heads examined.  Guess I'm old fashioned that way, I come to the "Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion" section to read about exactly that, not religious comparisons.

Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

Another American that doesn't understand sarcasm?

Who'd have thought it possible?

[nicholas]

I have a toaster, but no boing-ball logo. Can I use jam instead?

I give you permission to use jam but it has to be Damson.
