LOL, and us Irish get upset when we're mistaken for English too! And Welsh or Scottish, but they're not quite so bad ;) I was mistaken for American once though which is pretty surprising given my Dublin accent! But anyway...

I got asked, mainly by Americans, if I was from Auz loads of times when I spent two weeks in Jamaica

And the other way around too ;)

"Where are you from?"

"Ireland"

"Ooh, are you from Belfast then?"

"Err, nope."

Speaking of the devil:

I have an open support ticket that hasnt been answered at all since nearly a year (submitted on Wednesday 12 May, 2010).
And time still goes on...


UPDATE: Got a reply from Amigakit today.

I just checked your homepage, AmiTunes looks superb! Definitely on my software to try list.

Thank you :) The full MUI version still isn't finished yet, but the old GadTools one works fine and is downloadable. I'd be happy to hear what you think of it, and let me know if you have any problems with it...

Incidentally, the MP3 jukebox it was originally written for is now nearly finished, here's a link to a video I made of it last night:

Nothing too fancy, but it shows what can be done with AmiTunes and some soldering :)

UPDATE: I got a reply from amigakit sales today -- 8.5 days after I filled out their webform, but they're obviously very busy.

I have spent a considerable amount of money with Amigakit over the years and have found them to be friendly, accommodating and reliable. Sometimes they might be at an Amiga event or something, but as this is a hobbyist market, its not like trade IT suppliers where you MUST have your product the next day - although for a good many orders from AmigaKit, they have supplied to me next day.

A couple of times I've been mistaken for being Canadian.  :)

Is that an insult or a compliment to a Californian? ;)
