The Amiga Turns 25
retsamxaw reminds us that yesterday was the 25th anniversary of the Amiga. "[The Amiga] debuted to rave reviews and great expectations — heck, InfoWorld said it might be the 'third milestone' in personal computing after the Apple II and the IBM PC. ... Commodore was a famously parsimonious outfit, but it splurged on the Amiga's introduction. The highlight of that Lincoln Center product launch was a demo in which pop art legend Andy Warhol used an Amiga to 'paint' Blondie's Debbie Harry. The exercise didn't prove much of anything other than that Warhol was able to use the paint program's fill command, but it was heady stuff... Other platforms and tech products would inspire similarly fanatical followings — most notably OS/2 and Linux... But Amiga nuts of the 1980s and early 1990s... remain the ultimate fanboys, even though it hadn't yet occurred to anyone to hurl that word at computer users."
Poop dog. POOP oh yeah DOG BABY! Poop dog!

More revisionist bullshit on Slashdot. To set the record straight, Amiga users are nothing like Linux users. We weren't huge assholes. We were not obsessed with Free Software. We knew the shell was useful, but also knew a solid GUI was the future. We were in love with the hardware, not just the software.
I agree, I also feel that while niggers are above animals, they are also less than human. They perhaps do have feelings, but lack the intellect required to express them coherently. Therefore, I feel that they should primarily be used as a source of cheap labor.
I also don't understand why everybody is so grossed out by Goatse. Anal stretching is fun, give it a chance.

You're innovating in the use of the apostrophe. It's means IT IS. How come people can memorize trivial junk for defunct computers but the apostrophe completely baffles them?
