How about my mom's shopping bag?

Why not borrow one of her dress's while you're at it - confess that was the idea at first ;-)
Or maybe it is something I want to do it.. umm.. :-)

Seems I was right !
Removing the faithful kings won't stop us "big guys" going completly off-topic  ;-)

Allready thought about a new avartar myself, but haven't found the
"raw-material" for it yet.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Darn!
Now Amiga Inc makes a new exec update and destroy my statistics about how many sold tickets and the nr of hits the page had - typical...  My linear relationship which by last hour could be described by nr_of_sold_coupons = 0.46t + 230 would lead to around 360 sold coupons after roughly t = 276h. I guess it would have become broken anyway when they start to receive payments from other continents :-)

I don't think its that bad an idea.  Oh and i'm a fence sitting person btw...

It does make me wonder exactly how big this 'club' will be  :-?

If they are just doing market research, why the £32 coupon ??

Not bothered about a t-shirt but the A1 discount could come in handy  :-)

One thing that was holding me back from ordering a coupon was that i have no credit card.

By the end of the week, you should also be able to purchase this promotion through your local Amiga dealer.

So, that one is solved.
Now for the other one:
 :-? AmigaOne or upgrade my existing 1200 with a SharkPPC :-?
The AmigaOne seems to be much closer to release.
I guess i will have to decide soon.

Well, computers are associated with reason, and it's hard to understand a company in this business being backed by faith alone. Besides, Kronos is like a control rod in a nuclear reactor. If he wasn't here to temper the enthusiasm, it might hit critical mass and experience a meltdown  ;-)  .

Well, that update really explained everything   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

"I Am Amiga" Club Membership/Promotion   :-)

Is that a one size fits all T-shirt?  For 50 USD I hope we can choose a size that fits.  Otherwise, mine may not get down over my stomach.   :lol:

Anyway, it looks like I have up to a year to find a dealer in Canada.  I hope someone steps up to the plate.

Meanwhile, I got QNX 6.2 working on my PC last night.  I really like it, but I have to download Opera again so I can paste smilies onto my posts (using Netscape on Windows ME for this post).

I am also looking forward to trying out Amithlon 2.0.

Yay! Me now happy!

At the end of the day £32 for a t-shirt isn't to bad, I have brought some at £50 (Don't ask!)

This confusion is now a little bit clearer in my head now.

Now all we need is some good news on amithlon2 :-D

Oh come on! While I don't think I've ever agreed with anythingh Kronos has said, Gary_c summed it up perfectly when he said Kronos is..er...a Control Rod! Plus, Kronos is a King of Babble-on and has been around here for a while now.

So he's entitled to his opinion....this is not Amiga.weloveyou.youcan'tdoanythingwrong.org - it's a forum for all opinions.

Back to the topic....the exec update sounds much better - but why does it always take another exec update to explain the first?  :-?  :-D

Cheers,

J

I hope you do find the perfect avatar for you, but could you do it soon? I keep reading your posts with the voice of Krusty the Clown in my head.

@Coder
I think Argo meant me.

@Argo
Don't expect things to get better  :-D
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.

Would be strange to look at Kronos' posts if they didn't have Krysty's head...
Why does things always have to change?   :-)
