I HATE the term "Miggy"
« on: December 30, 2015, 02:31:13 PM »
Hi all,
Sorry but I just had to chime in about this, I just HATE the term "Miggy".  I have been
using Amiga computers since 1988 and I have never for one second thought of my
"Amiga" computer as a "Miggy".  Miggy is the nickname of a baseball player on the
Detroit Tigers, not a fabulous amazing computer. I just cringe every time I read that
term in a post when referring to my beloved Amiga.  Right now I have two A1200's
and a CD32 Amiga computers and none of them are "Miggy's".  Please spare me.
Happy New Year!
Brad Hansen

Yea, it's absolutely crappy nickname! Even so Jay Miner's dog Mitchy would sound close to it... Anyway let's keep freedom of speech to everyone.

Disparaging my Nck name doesn't make the term "Miggy" any better.

I hope I'm laughing with you because I'm not laughing at you. I don't and never have used the term "Miggy".   I probably don't care for it but it doesn't really bother me.  And I didn't mean for my comment to disparage your nickname but it just struck me as funny.  Have a Happy New Year my friend!

I wonder when the term 'Miggy' was first used? Some people hate 'Amigan' too. I'm not a personal fan of any of those terms, but I'm not about to let it ruin my new year!

I have a SAMiga and I'm not crazy about that name but I'm grateful for it and that we still have an Amiga Community.

Yeah not a big fan of it either, but some will say Miggy, others will say other nicknames I like Amiga and I refer to my computers as "her" a lot :).

Hey, The baseball player who has that Nick name is named Miguel, Miggy makes sense for
him.  Amiga should be "Amy" but no...

i Agree, call it what it is. It was hard enough to get AMIGA known in the world without silly nicknames like miggy.

        Hey and I have to agree, it sounds like some thing  one would call a Rodent and not the beautiful Amiga.
