Hello all

Been following this thread - not necessarily in agreement with all or
impressed with the comments.

Strikes me this list has two sections. One very staunchly protective of the
"Amiga" name and all it implies, and the other constantly complaining about
it's shortfalls and comparing it to other (better?) systems and companies
around.

Like it or not, the list name says Amigactive - which should mean people
with Amigas or an interest in them, being active. Being pro-active is not
constructive to say the least.

With the new Amiga system on the horizon, the list could become divided yet
again.
Those who are "Classic" orientated, and the "New Amigans".

Regardless of which system you use, or intend to use, there should be room
for both to co-exist in harmony, without back-biting or resorting to foul
lauguage and abuse.
Everyone's opinion is their own, of course, but negatory comments cannot
help at this time.

Amiga and their associated partners are not answerable to the likes of
anyone on this list, more to the contrary, they may well decide with all
the niggling, whinging, back-biting and squabbling to pull out of the
whole venture all together. After all, it is their money funding this
project, not ours yet. It only becomes ours when the hardware is purchased
and used, and then we might comment upon it.

Use your Amigas for the purpose for which they were originally designed -
fun, entertainment, enjoyment and creativity, or have you forgotten in your
constant attempt to emulate different systems which were designed for
completely different purposes?

We have a platform which is capable of doing most things the others can do,
just sometimes not as quickly or as well.

Just my 2pennyworth.

Comments welcome.



All the good ones are taken.
