NEW POLL --- Who Comes first - Your Amiga or your Wife?

[leirbag28]

 Haha!  Well for me...this is why I want to marry an Amigan Chick! :-D  then this wont be a problem..............that is unless she is into Amiga way more than me :-P

 Some of us are not married for this very reason...........that we are too into our Amigas.....like me :-)

But in all Reality and realistically speaking.......Wife DEFINITELY should come first!  she lasts a lifetime........She is your REAL Amiga!

Of course in My case.I will make every effort to balance my Amiga Usage and her...more time will go to her for sure :-)

  Yeah, if a woman ever talked to me like that, I'd be like, "Hey Missy! Get your bich a$$ back in the kitchen and bake me a pie!"  

  Well, I wouldn't really say that as it would be certain death.  But I'd think it!! HA!!

Well, no wife for me, but my girlfriend does sometimes wonder why I have this "obsession" with "computer junk" (her words, not mine)!!!

I guess girlfriend/partner/wife ought to come before computer stuff, the exception being a new piece of computer/electronics equipment, in which case everything else is secondary until I've had a chance to play with/use it!  :-D

I`ve been using computers for 23 years, I think I`d put my Kids first, Amiga second and soon to be ex-wife last.  People come and go but my Amiga was always there.

Quenthal, you're a genius!

General guidelines I'd suggest:

Always pay attention to your woman when they seem to want it.  All claims of equality aside, they still are almost universally spoiled self-absorbed and materialistic would-be princesses who want to be "taken care of".

Bearing this onerous double-standard in mind, look at your Amiga and then ask yourself these questions about your woman:

o  Is she fat or hairy?

o  Is she moody or otherwise irrational (astrology, numerology, etc.)

o  Does she suck a mean disk?  Swallow?

o  How's the hygiene?

o  What's her sex drive like?

o  Is she obsessed with silly trends of fashion, celebrity, shoes, Atkins or hair-style?

o  Is she a genuinely kind and decent human being who treats people fairly regardless of circumstance?


Those are just a few criteria to start with when you weigh whether or not your woman rates more time than your Amiga.  If your Amiga looks like a better prospect, it's time to find a better woman.  After deciding whether or not you merit a better woman.  ;-)

It is very simple. Do exactly what i did.

I bought an A1200 HD, put some games in it, grabbed an couple of joysticks and "presented" this system as a gift to my GF.

Now she is also obsessed with amiga. She even came to the Amigathering with me on July !!!  :-D

Wife or Amiga? Are you kidding? Amiga of course. The only time the Amiga nags is when it asks you to insert a disk. ;-)



(Just kidding. I have the best wife in the world. She has no problem with my Amiga obsession.)

What a bunch of misogynists we are here...  (although trust x-ray to spot the double entendre).

Riiiight.... err, hum, well... heck!

I'm out of arguments considering this :-|

[glitch]

Perhaps she was looking for a new "pole" not "poll"... 8-)

It's like this, when I take the covers off my wife, I know exactly what I'm going to find in there and it will be soooo much fun, never burn out on me, and there will be the occasional happy surprise, even after 22 years. The Amigas, on the other hand, much as I love them, are nothing but evil surprises and trials and arguments. Actually the Amigas remind me of wives 1 & 2 and we all know how well they turned out! Besides which, as I understand it the Amiga emulation is pretty good stuff, but I am absolutely sure a Margaret emulation would be a big disappointment.
