That's about the gist of your kind of mail, yes. So, are you signing up
for a course, or are you going to sit behind your Amiga all day?

I don't give a toss what your silly political views are on the current
holders of the PC market: Microsoft stuff works here, Intel stuff works
here, and for about the last 3, Amiga stuff certainly hasn't cut the
mustard for anything I've wanted to do.

Not without serious expenditure - say around the ~£1200 mark. Now,
I started my own business and bought myself a f**king great PC for

applications, being on the internet and generally being quite good.

What's my Amiga doing? The same, but I'm constantly bashing my head
against the table at how f**king slow it is at doing anything: I'd kill
for the chance to be able to compile Voyager 68k on my PC rather than
have to wait 15 minutes for it to build on my Amiga - and possibly nuke
during generating dependencies due to how shitty ixemul.library is and
always will be.

Are Amiga doing ANYTHING that helps my situation?

No, they're off making PDA game development kits and an OS I can't
run without.. ooh, lets see, £800 of expenditure. So it's cheaper now,
but I could get myself a 1GHz box for that and run something like
QNX where I *could* feasibly cross-compile my applications.

Your friends, and you I have no doubt, are complete retards then.

I do it all the time. The stale air around your Amiga must be clouding
your judgement. Carbon dioxide is bad for you. Open a window, dude.

> If you are so annoyed with what amiga is doing, then bugger off!

No. Make me.

If you don't like what the rest of the IT industry is doing, and how
Amiga doesn't quite fit into it, and how many many people will simply
just disagree with your inane rabble, why don't YOU bugger off?

It seems a little harsh to "kick out" someone so <brag> intelligent
as I am </brag>. Why not oust a retard. I vote it be you.

Thanks
