- I was wondering when someone would catch on to that. I started
- complimenting something about the Amiga, and everybody else started denigrating
- it!! It reminds me of the old joke (I saw it recently on "Who Framed Roger
- Rabbit") where two cartoon characters are arguing, and then one of them
- changes the arguement around. Like:
-
- Person 1: Amiga's are junk.
- Person 2: Amiga's are great!
-
- Person 1: Amiga's are junk.
- Person 2: Amiga's are great!
-
- Person 1: Amiga's are junk.
- Person 2: Amiga's are great!
-
- Person 1: Amiga's are great!
- Person 2: Amiga's are junk.
