- What you MUI lovers fail to realize is: I DON"T WANT TO USE
- MUI.....! GET IT.. UNDERSTAND IT? I could give a shit less how
- memory efficiant you think it is or how wonderful you think it is, I
- DON"T WANT IT! Do you understand now or are you a retard or
- something?
-
- It used to be, that when you used an Amiga you had a choice. Now we
- are having bloatware crammed in our faces. Shit I might as well buy
- a clone. If I'm going to be forced to run bloatware at least I can
- get FREE copies from work and I won't have to jump through HOOPS to
- exchange files with my PC at work.
-
- Don't even think of coming off with some smart remark like "well
- just buy a clone then" That seems to be the typical responce lately
- from the MUI crowd when the rest of us stand up against MUI. I
- haven't owned any other platform since I bought my 1st Amiga and I
- have defended it and recommend it even in the face of ridicule from my
- Clown using Peers. I have stood by the Amiga through thick and thin
- and now because I don't want to use a bloated interface package to
- Surf the WEB I will be ignored or told to buy a clone.
-
- AT are you listening? drop MUI and find a programer who can write
- his own interface! I will not today, tomorrow or anytime in the next
- 10 thousand years pay for any product that uses the MUI interface. So
- if you want my money and the money from many other user such as myself
- you better wake up! BTW if you have any ideas of incorperating MUI
- into AmigaDos, let me know now before I waste anymore money on my
- Amiga. I want to sell it while it still has some resale value!
