- Dear Psycho..
-
- We appreciate how you never got beyond the 64.. There are a number of
- Pc owners who never got beyond a 64, hence why they are pc owners. Amiga
- users on the other hand, and many will agree, that the 64 was a good
- machine.. It is where many of us had our start in computerdom. The 64
- may have been a slow and small machine, but it was once called the Realm
- of Impossibility, since alot of the good demos had code that seemed
- impossible on this feeble machine.
-
- Alot of the Euro Amiga users cannot understand why Pc owners are so
- full of themselves.. Since the Pc has no existance in Euro Land. I truly
- beleive it is all about advertising.. In NA, we are told since little
- kids that the PC is the only computer.. And when we are old enough to
- buy a machine, we don't even consider others.. When in fact, the Amiga
- is a better all around machine. I'm sorry that Commodores marketing has
- confused you.. It confused alot of feeble minded individuals. Find a
- friend with an amiga (find a friend for that matter) and let them show
- you what it can do. We could all label the Ibm as an Office Machine, or
- Office Pet.. Whatever.. Since many of the users of Ibms are office
- related. Intelligent individuals can look beyond advertising, and see it
- for what it is. IT can do alot more than that, right? I'm sure you would
- be the first to defend it. As we are the first to defend our computers.
- Anyways, to listen to corporate adverting is to show the shallowness of
- your character.. It is not just a games machine. It can do anything that
- your ibm can do.. I've seen Ibemers preaching the gospel on computers,
- and how they are the best.. For once I'd wish you would just shut your
- mouth and go find your own conference. Hence, all the 'fuck offs' you
- recieved.
-
- You must be really stupid to walk into a specialized computer
- conference and start flaming that particular computer. What do you
- expecdt to acheive? Do you actually beleive that anyone is going to sell
- the computer and buy an Ibm? Please.. Don't talk to us about Wing
- Commander and how it is better on the ibm. When your computer can run a
- TRUE WINDOWS ENVIORMENT without loads of memory and software costs, then
- you can compare your bloody machine to mine. Till then, maybe you should
- phone Ibm and tell them how to make a better machine.. Switch to
- Motarolla chips, put windows into roms.. Heck, just take a look at the
- Amiga and put an Ibm sticker on it.
