Regarding Amiga fanaticism:

I agree with you...As far as the Amiga is concerned, where very touchy when it
comes to comparing systems. We look at IBMs, Macs, and all we do is yawn. I
mean, you cant blame us for disliking it. Its natural. Which would you rather
have at your disposal, a Testarossa or a lime-green Yugo?

We seem like a very misunderstood group, I agree. BUT. That still dosent
overshadow the fact that we CAN, and DO offer multimedia for the masses. More
so than any of the "big 3" in the industry put together.


Heh, and deprogramming isnt the answer. Theres nothing wrong being being proud
of your machine. Look at it this way; If Commodore was to finally ADVERTISE
for a change, I wouldnt have to do their job for them..
