And from his "Helpful Tidbits" section, I guess I should
sell my A3000 and my A3000T, as any A2000 equiped with
the same processor will be faster because of "Commodore's decision to include a bus management chip, called "Buster," in the design of the Amiga 3000. Unfortunately for the user, all Buster manages to do is to create a bottleneck for information that slows the computing process."


Jeez, he can't be much of an A2000 "expert" if he doesn't even know that the A2000 has a Buster too (although not the Super Buster of the A3000 & A4000) :roll:

I also find it somewhat disturbing that he keeps talking on his website about "We at Retrogeek Computers"..

Who is/are these other(s)? Or does he refer to himself in Royal Plural Form, like those megalomanic kings and emperors in the past always seem to do? ("We, Louis XIV from France.......")


we = Doomey and the mouse in his pocket.
Couldn\\\'t afford an amiga then can\\\'t afford one now.

So, the point is:

1. He purchased a few computers and had fun(although, I hate to think what he did to that poor little vic 20)

2. He found idiots like himself to trade a new computer for a home built PC.

3. He copied all the software for the commodore 64.

4. He copied all the software for the Atari.

5. I assume he copied all the software for the Amiga.

6. He copied lots and lots of software.

I do not see anything really useful he did, but He did have a lot of fun drinking beer at copy parties. I guess that counts for something.

I was thinking somewhat similar. In the video he says (about the VIC-20 from his roommate):

"I sat down in front of the computer, turned it on, and started doing things with it"..

Right now I have very vomit-inducing visualisations. Poor VIC-20  :-(
