- I'm afraid that's the whole point: Amiga users, generally speaking, are not
- interested in Being Hot Shit. They just want to use and enjoy their systems in
- peace.
-
- In fact I, personally, have better things to do than to Be Hot Shit. This goes
- for most Amiga users. "Hot Shit?" they say, "It _sounds_ better than
- User-Friendly, but does it smell as fresh?"
-
- Hot Shit, for all its unpleasant smell, is just overcompensation for PC users'
- feeling of Being Suckered. The one thing they know is that none of their fellow
- victims will expose their unhappiness, because in the process they would admit
- that they, too, had Been Suckered. So now, like school bullies, all they need
- to do is gang together and pick on the more intelligent boys to prevent being
- laughed at for their stupidity.
-
- So next time you get into trouble with one of those types, just acquiesce him
- with a friendly "verily sir, you Are Hot Shit". They may still give you Hot Air
- after that, but without the offensive odour.
-
- Seriously, you sound like you're struggling with an Amiga Inferiority Complex.
- I strongly advise you to download the F.U.C.K. from Aminet:
