Apple Users? Bunch of Luzers!

Such an inflammatory remark, clearly designed to provoke.

Amiga FTW.

This is more than provoking...  :oops:

This is my personal point of view as an Amigan Point of View in an Amigan related chat section...

And being a Amiga complete business site, then another person who is clearly a macintosh user came here abruptly saying that the coolest things he had seen this week is his new brand MacBook that gives him more appeal than any Amiga he had...

(Are we sure this person really got any Amiga?)

So I am free to answering to Mac users as they deserve to be threaten...

It is they provoking us Amigans here on OUR SITE...

I had had provoked if I had said that Mac Luzers are Loozers on a Mac site...

But if you noticed that, we are on Amiga site, so I am not guilty...

And I am not guilty twice...

Because:

1) First! I had not started this thread by gloryfing Macintoshes, but just answering to some Mac users acting as agent provocateur...

2) Second! And perhaps beacuse Mac users really are l00zers forever noobz and they stink anytime. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And it is not their guilty... After all they are only Mac used-users, so being sucking it is natural for them... :-P

Aw? Apple usews? Poow widdle s(n)obbing cweatuwes!

Amiga Rulezz! 8-)













 :-P  :lol:

ummmmm, The persone who started this thread has been around here alot longer than you , and contributed a lot more, same goes for bloodline.

Nobody just turned up, and started loving Macs.

I would imagine the majority of people on here would rather you would go away. I know I do


@ Mods

Anyone around who could give this guy a warning.  Thinks he deserves it.  Hes sounding more like starke by the second.

Yes I agree...

I admit I deserve a warn...

But also I ask the moderators to move this thread on Alternative Operating Systems section of the forum where it should stay since the beginning, or even if they can close this thread as it celebrates other platforms in spite of the policy of the forum site regarding Amiga related topics.  :rtfm:

I am waiting for any warn, and I am waiting here firmly and in complete honesty.

While vaste majority here is nuthing than a bunch of nostalgics who are here on Amiga.org to cry about Amiga, and to ask suggestions on how they can emulate retrogaming. Pathetic...

Gosh! ...and I've just purchased a second A3000D.... :-(

The coolest thing I've seen this week is a refrigerator

So you are not in the nostalgic bunch and you got all my respect for your cool A3000D... :-D

Well, now THAT sounds quite more cool and far more useful than a Macintosh...  :lol:  :-P

There is no moderation on this thread. Its an UFC cage thread it seems.

Pathetic...

I call that keeping the Amiga platform alive...

But I love technology... That love of technology got me into the Amiga... I'm not going to stop loving technology just because the Amiga died. Most of the Amiga scene was built around people who love technology, people I can relate to... They are still here and we still keep on top of the latest developments...

If you believe that Amiga is dead, then why are you here?

We are here beacuse Amiga is alive, being sold on the market, and still evolving despite the poor amount of money that actual firms could invest in it...

We are all that keeps the Amiga alive by still remembering it. But as a serious computer platform it is dead, even my Mobile Phone is light years beyond anything the Amiga has ever achieved.

I'm here because I still love the platform, I lvoe the community and I like to help out users set up classic Amiga environments... either Emulation and/or real/FPGA hardware...

The new MacBook is lovely, it evokes everything I loved about my first Amiga... get over it.

Amiga = Retro computing.

That's a given, we all love to play with the Amiga much as you would tinker with a classic automobile.  It's fun, it's a hobby, get over it.

We all have our favourites in current technology, and we seem to be fairly evenly divided between MS Windows and OS X, with a few Linux folks thrown in.  That's a different thing entirely.

Fourteen years ago the company that produced the Amiga died and it's been up to us, the retro-enthusiasts, to keep the Amiga alive.  THe Amiga is never going to compete with Mac/PC/Linux and Mac/PC/Linux are never going to compete with the Amiga, those days ended way back in the last century...

Surely, but I was tinkering about with this classic automobile and I found out things that, if applied to modern computers, speed them up tremendously.

@ raffaele
You clearly hate the mac and its users.
However, have you ever tried a mac?
Most mac users on this site is or was hardcore amigans back in the day, and some still are.

But to my point. I stopped using amiga in 1999 when i bought a pc. my first pc. Today i have a relatively good pc. It can do most jobs a mac can do. with a similar result.
But the mac cannot play the same games as a windows machine can. (with a few exceptions)...
However.
At a job i had at a youth center, there was a mac.
It was purely purchased for video editing purposes.
I am not going into details. However.
Seeing how the icon of my usb pendrive showed up on the desktop.
I got a sudden flashback to my good old amiga days.
My guess is the mac os is as close as you ever will get to a modern os running on modern hardware. and still being developed...
Sadly, it cannot run amiga software. If it could. i would convert in a heartbeat. disregarding the prices completely..
other than that. i don't really like the mac os. mostly because i have not familiarized myself with it...
And i have no use of it...
But i respect it.

The coolest thing I've seen this week was a burning heap of Apple zealots, almost as cool as a heap of burning Atari zealots back in the day.

 Have you regretted that you made this thread?

Very much so.  Perhaps people can see why I didn't mention the 'other thing' in my original post.

The irony of course is that the whole point of the thread was how cool Amiga stuff can be in comparison with the latest stuff.  I was saying that I found the SabreMSN piccy COOLER than the MacBook. I guess some people are too {bleep}ing stupid to read something properly.

Some days, I wonder why I still bother with Amiga stuff.  This is not one of those days. :-)

Today is a different day to yesterday. :-(

I tried Mac OS upto 7 on original machines and emulated on Amiga and it never impressed me...

A cooperative multitasking OS overestimated by newspapers and mac-boy evangelists...

I used Macintoshes at University (there is a student room full of iMacs G3 here) and these computers are all PPG G3 clocked at 600 MHz running MacOS 9...

Something like this:



This wannabe OS really slowed down the PPC 600 and made such a powerful processor to seat on its own a**...

And I asked to myself why this OS was soooo slooow...

Well... So good was the so called MacOS upto 9...

I wonder why they do not left PPC in favour of Intel processors in the time of MacOS 9... Such a turtle OS had had received sure benefit if running on an intel processor running at twice clock than PPC.

Also I found frustrating using a standard italian Macintosh keyboard because all Mac italian keyboards are QZERTY as ancient typewriters... What a kind of strange fashion! LOL! :roll:

And the MacOS keyboards had only "Backspace" key and lacked of "CANC" key :crazy:

The Mac was not mine (It belonged to the university), as if I were were a "desperate Macinthosh housewuser" I had bought a standard multistandard USB Logitech keyboard (more cheap than a standard italian QWERTY layout based Mac ORIGINAL keyboard) because I heard that fortunately even MacOS 9 could had used it...

Sure USB Logitech Keyboard had the benfits of correct computer keyboard layout with all keys at their place...

And I tried various times Apples MacOS X with Intel Core Duo at Apple corners in electronic stores...

Again nothing impressive except than Eyecandies...

I wonder if all the power of an Intel core duo is used to keep a graphical interface enough speed to let MacDock zoom on icons?

I tried some applications such as garageband and the tool to make photos with internal camera...

Again nothing impressive...

But honestly I find garageband was a tool enough worthing the 120 euro of MacOS price...

Enough worthing for a Mac user, because programs like Audio Evolution on Amiga costs just a fraction of 120 euro...

Sure I found Standard Windows XP installation at a first use on newer machines more light and more performing than MacOS X even in mouse movements and response...

Ah yes... You can also spot any Bluetooth device hanging around the Macintosh within X meters in the electronic store...

HOW COOL, HOW COOL!

Very useful if you want to send a message to a beautiful girl who left open bluetooth on her cell phone.

Is just that the MacOS X power?

Did it deserves such an amount of Core duo power? :crazy:

Seeing how the icon of my usb pendrive showed up on the desktop.
I got a sudden flashback to my good old amiga days.

My Pegasos reads USB pens too... So what?

And it gives me same Amiga appeal than old days on a modern hardware with decent OS.

Another cool thing I saw was a burning heap of anti-Apple-zealots.

If you believes that, why are you hanging around on Amiga sites?

We real loyal Amigans are more often seeing to the future than crying on a glorious past...

It is a long road ahead to catch again the mainstream, but all three Amiga systems, MorphOS, AmigaOS and AROS are doing little but significant steps.

That counts, and not nostalgia...

[cicero790]

I like your thinking Raffaele. I also believe in a future for the three.
