So, you think these amigans have an attitude problem eh ?

I attribute this to the fact that most amigans are well versed
computer types who expect more out of their machine than any other
micro group.

The mac guys are still infatuated with the concept of a mouse. The IBM
guys want to know why ProComm doesnt work, and the ST peoeple, well,
they can barely figure out how to post a message.

I think a lot of those people bought those computers as their first one,
whereas a lot of amigans are seasoned computer battle scarred
veterans of 'the bad old days' (Pre-PC).

The technical content in this group is higher than any other micro group,
we have more diversified peripherals for the amiga than any other micro,
all because of these peoeple who CARE so much, WORK so hard and are
so damn INNOVATIVE.  Similarly, in this vein, Bill Volk made a comment
at a local L.A. chapter meeting of SIGGRAPH, that there was more
stuff out for the amiga at 1 year, than there was for the Mac at
2-3 years.

So yes, these here amigans are a highly enthusiastic crowd, and
when they are pissed off sparks fly.

So hit 'n'.

Or 'k'.

But you will notice, that for all his bitchen, when Mike was asked
what it would take, he listed two possabilities. Which opens
up, for somebody, a chance to make those things, and perhaps
make a few bucks on the deal.

You're looking too hard at the dark clouds and missing the silver lining.

Disclaimer: Sorry, I'm in a disgustingly good mood this morning.
Disclaimer 2: If you are a mac, st, or pc owner and you know what
you are doing: no offence. (But I bet you are lonely :-)
