That settles it... The next coder to write an Amiga utility needs to name it Broccoli.
- Doc

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

I hate brocolli with a passion, and strongly believe it should be wiped off the face of the planet.

I remember when I first put an '030/50 in my A1200 desktop. It started crashing due to overheat. Anyway, I decided to leave off the trapdoor and raise the case an inch or so off the table. So I put four nicely trimmed broccoli spears at each corner and it worked just great. Had to change 'em for fresh ones every week or so, else the case drooped back too much and it would crash again. Carrots work too, but they tend to skid when you type things. The multi-point contact provided by broccoli is perfect for lateral stability and I've never found anything to match it since. Needless to say, I have converted my once lush lawns into broccoli growing areas so I'm never without it. You can get my special non-yellowing broccoli spears on eBay under 'everything else'. Happy bidding!

Someone once said they "bottled a fart that poisoned half of Dublin". Well, I've heard of a fart that shattered all the windows in central Toronto (not really). The shockwave ripped through town faster than the speed of smell. In the outlying rural areas, grazing herds of sheep were so startled that some sheep attempted to climb the trees in a vain attempt to escape the sound.

 :lol: Haha, great pic.  What prog did you use for that?  Hmm, never imagined a broccoli post would turn out to be so much fun.
Good good study, day day up!

What's your secret? My broccoli always starts going yellow after a couple years. I tried bleach and other cleansers, but they just don't work. Dang! Isn't that always the case? You buy good broccoli and expect it to stay the same colour for years, but then it goes yellow on you. I kept it away from smoke and everything! I know it doesn't affect the function of the broccoli, but it just looks bad and affects the resale value.

@thread,

I hate to tell everyone, but I've been to the dark side.

I had some cauliflower for lunch :-o

I feel so cheap & dirty.

Don't be silly, you need South Himalayan microengineering broccoli for that and that stuff is not easy to come by. Surely everybody knows that :roll:

Cauliflower - pfffft! Maybe cauliflower will work on MorphOS, but it sure as hell can't fix an Amiga. Cauliflower is just a broccoli wannabe. (...silently munches some broccoli in disgust)
