That's good! Definitely not what one would have expected having read your initial post...

In this case you're wrong: I am wrong many a times, and glad to be so, because it's a good way to learn.

You need to check your attitude, because its people like you who push people away from pursuing their interests, rather than drawing them in
And you probably need to check your far-sweeping, baseless statements. I've only given that "advise" to you, and once again, even though you still don't get it, only because of how your wrote what you wrote on your first post.
I actually evangelize the Amiga to far more people than I should (they might think I'm an Amiga zealot - more on that below), and help folks of all ages and sorts by fixing their Amigas so that they're running to this day and hopefully the next millennium. Actually, when was the last time you helped someone get their Amiga gear sales in order (ask Rkauer about how I located and hunted down and pressured a seller that had "forgotten" all about Rkaeur's A1200 or Apollo card - I forget the item in question), or fixed a black* grandpa's A2k and recovered his database files so he could keep on organizing family reunions to this day? Or a white* grandma's A500s which she still uses for doing subtitling of kids skating videos? Or a famous** biochemist's A4k's capacitors so he could continue his pursues of saving us from deadly mushrooms***? Or when did you battle with famous pissed off Amiga book authors to try to get valuable Amiga related books back into print?
I'm sorry to announce to you that the only attack you can make on me is that when people talk about Amiga zealots, they might be thinking of me! (which unfortunately for you, or them, isn't true either, because I know quite well, better than most I'd dare say, the faults and short comings of the Amigas and Commodore - technical or otherwise).
* Just to show I ain't racist when it comes to Amigas (although I think I must be in P.C. terms, as I can't help but NOTICE difference - not that it makes a difference to me once I notice it and I know the person), so you don't take any Brit vs Yankee stance or something stupid like that.
** OK, not that famous outside the Amiga community
*** OK, OK, I overstated his goals and the deadliness of the fungi.

Wrong again. But if you'd really like to know, Amigas turn me on!
