    You always spend your time responding to incorrect or irrelevant posts, or do you just like to read yourself type?

    PS: The summary itself brought up economic status, so I don't know what your problem is. Perhaps you should go back to your Mensa meeting and fellate people on your own level instead of wasting your precious, perfect time on grubs like us?

    Fine, you're a shining example and the rest of us larvae are not worthy, but please note you are living on a planet with 7 billion people on it; chances are they are not all as amazing as you. Hell, we can't even build integrated circuits with the latest and greatest technology that well.

    Or the decision to be born into a hopeless environment with poor parents, all the while being kept that way by the drug and soda companies that profit hugely from your misery, like the Appalachians.

    But hey, it's not like we don't give them a chance, right?

    is that now that rich white people have drug problems (ie, "real" people), maybe we can muster up some sympathy for other addicted people now?

    Nah, I'm dreaming.

    Yes, wonderful, how does that mean Google can handle the bureaucracy for this contest?

    Please do show me the quality of your argument. You know, since I live in this shithole and everything.

    Quebec is a ridiculous backwater corrupt banana republic with a monstrous, bloated bureaucracy that not even Google can deal with.

  15. Re:Amigas aren't very Amiga compatible. on The Almost Forgotten Story of the Amiga 2000 · · Score: 2

    Well neither were PCs of the era. Try to get EMS memory programs to run with EMM? No luck. Maybe install a driver in your config.sys? But then it would break other programs. Want to get a CD-ROM? Which type would it be, the kind that hung off your special sound card's bus, a stand-alone CD controller or IDE?
    What about your mouse? Think you can bring your mouse over to your friend's house? Hmm, was that a serial mouse or a bus mouse? Which bus?
    Got a new sound card? Think that program that only supported the old Soundblaster would work with your new Turtle Beach card? Wait, how many hours of trial and error config.sysing is that going to be?

    I had the 386SX BridgeBoard. It was pretty cool to run OrCad on the Bridge with its virtual hard drive, while still having the Amiga free.

    I think that BridgeBoard must be quite expensive today!

    "From scratch"... They weren't baking a cake.
