I hope I dont make anyone mad here but If you took the time and download and watch this then you really need to go outside and get a life.

If you really want some excitment in your life then go bid on one of his auctions. that will give you drama for sure.

Well, I'm guilty on both counts... I don't have a life and... I did bid on one of his auctions.

I can confirm the drama factor.  :madashell:

I don't get it.
Is he some kind of celebrity or authority on computers?
What does he do? Is he a famous programmer? Musician? Graphics artist?  :-?
I totally understand interviews with e.g. Eugene Jarvis, because it has a (maybe somewhat narrow) public interest. But really, who is this guy? Why didn't he just make a personal web page?

Please enlighten me.  :-)

He actually thinks he's some kind of celebrity. Probably showing off to computer illiterates on a regular term.

How boring can one single person be? I feel pity for him, even if he continually screws his ebay customers.

You lot have practically made him a celebrity online at least; I bet he's loving every minute of it.

Attention seekers feed of negative attention also.

Wow! I was expecting him to sound like a hillbilly :crazy:

Funny how the video makes him seem like a decent guy (when hes not)  :roll:

.. and why has he got an A4000 in the back? i thought he didnt like AGA Amigas??

[Argus]

I thought this guy's name was George Campbell??  There was also some female name he used to use on eBay.  Maybe he's not so alone after all.

Wikipedia: A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. A famous definition of celebrity comes from the cultural theorist Daniel Boorstin. In his book, The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, he cynically describes celebrities as people well known for their “well-knowness”.

I thought the video was interesting in that you can now see the person we've been following all these years. We are all Doomy Groopies.

We're already on page 3 of this thread. 'nuff said.

In french OMG means Organisme Génétiquement Modifié or...

Genetically modified organism...

And in the states it's just another stupid Internet acronym along the lines of "LOL", "ROFL", and so forth.

Is it me or is this video in mono? I am getting no sound out of the right channel!

[Zac67]

Aye - left channel only.

Almost as bad? Doomy is worse! At least the Apple II guy has porn videos! (check the video around 1:08 minutes :lol:)

LOL!!!

Downloading Doomys vid..

[amigakid]

HAHA now that was funny.  I don't pass judgement as i have never met or dealt with Doomy, but the remixed video did make me chuckle a few times.

Cheers
