After losing most of my hair from pulling it out in frustration, I must
thank Dave Haynie for writing Disksalve and recovering a 4.5 Meg animation that
I spent 1.5 weeks rendering from accidental deletion from my hard drive.
This kind of direct support (and the probability that he will actually SEE
and maybe even REPLY to this message!!! Does IBM or Apple have somebody from
the company helping people over the Net?) is one of the things that convinced
me to go with Commodore for my first personal computer. Thanks!
Now, If I could just get AMAX-II to actually FORMAT my hard drive now that
it recognizes it and asks if I want to format it....

You're definately right. Dave Hanie is definately a cool dude. I mean, I posted a quesiton about 2000's revision numbers, and the NEXT DAY he replied with the answer. *THAT'S* support.. *THAT'S* why I love my amiga. *THIS* is why when people say "Is that IBM compatable" I leave the room, get a tomatoe, and trow it at them. We love amiga... BTW: I opened my 2000 to put in my Trumpcard 500 with brackets, and while looking around, under the revision number (which was 4.1) and a little sticker saying 4.2... it says "Haynie/xxxx" I can't remember xxxx, but hey, Haynie BUILT THE BOARD!!!! Think about this.. the guy who replied to my quesition of the board, BUILT THE DAMN THING!!!! Yeesh.. where'd you ever get support like this????!!!!! Thanks amiga! Reach out and touch us more often with your great advice and quick replies. Dave haynie.. whatta dude! (now, if he only replied to my term paper plea which will be up tomorrow, I'll have the BEST BEST BESTEST source for my paper. I REALLY REALLY REALLY <subtle <subtle <subtle> hint> hint> hint> hope he'll bless me with some Amiga characteristics that he finds appealing and that is pertinant to my paper! And, you all can reply as well, please do! The more the merrier and the more papers I have to send out!! So... if you want to list to me reasons why you think Amiga's rule, IBM's etc, etc, stink - then reply here or on tomorrow post "WHY AMIGA'S ARE THE BEST! C'MON!!!!" and gimme yer input!

Hell, I'll be darned if I don't get into this load-o-thanks myself. I've
actually made the plunge into Amigadom, and am proud to say that I am currently
in the process of formatting all of my X-MS-SOD diskettes for (drum roll, please
...) AmigaDOS. I am now working in a lab with 2 2000HD and a 3000UX. I don't
have my own baby yet, but looking forward to it when funds allow. From what
I've seen so far, (which has been a number of months) in comp.sys.amiga, you
guys have been right here with us, always willing to supply your opinions/
knowledge for the good of all.
I've always endeavored to give credit where due, and they are definitely
due, no matter how little we show it at times. Now if they'd only send that
user group package they promised me 2 weeks ago... All kidding aside, we as
Amigans need to lose a little of the inferiority complex/over defensiveness.
We know the Amiga is the best for what we use it for, so why should we have
a problem with anyone else's opinion. Anyway, off the soap-box I go. Have
a great Thanksgiving, all!

Then everybody wouldn't bitch and moan in various Amiga rags that C= support sucks. But in keeping with the theme of the thread: All hail the way cool Commodore dudes who remember that some of us don't know everything (-MB- does, though :-)) and who take time to answer our questions and gripes, whoever and wherever they may be... > >-- >----------------------bite here----------------- >"The bomb squad X-rayed the radio and determined it was only a >radio" -San Diego Union. >_____________________stop biting________________ Hook 'em Horns (OU sux), Dustin R.
