Nish, like Skip say and it seems MANY other people on the net why don't
you listen to what they are saying...when you don't know what the hell
you're talking about...shut-up...I have two little 'saying for you

1> It's better to stay quiet and thought a fool than to speak up and prove
   it to be so

2> It's better to keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut, you   
   learn much more and earn more than a little respect for it.

The second one is perfect for you, learn about what you speak by reading
newsgroups first...or do a bit of research, you may be surprised that you
are wrong A LOT of the time...oh and one more thing...have you ever even
touched an AMIGA??  Not playing a game eitehr, pick up an AMIGA magazine
sometime and do a bit of reading, you may be surprised that you don't get
flamed as much when you actually make sense...

Just a suggestion...
