There are SO MANY non-amiga users in that group, why, I can't even begin to count them. In honor of your Magnificient Achievement, I have prepared some similar "jokes" below. Perhaps other thankful amiga.tech reads would like to show their appreciaion to you by filling your mailbox with nasty indignant flames, er, I mean, appreciative, comradely praise. What's the difference between jagrogan's brain and a bowl of rancid mush? The bowl. How many jagrogans would it take to cause the imminent death of the net? Don't even think about things like that. What kind of person would rather fuck a pig and program an IBM PC than program an Amiga? jagrogan@vax1 and other degenerate losers of his ilk. But is that just because he likes to fuck pigs? Maybe. How many jagrogans would you have to examine to find one working brain cell? A lot. More than you'd care to. Would anyone in the universe prefer to program an underpowered, soundless, biltterless, segmented, 640K-limited, single-tasking 8088-based IBM PC over an Amiga? Well, you wouldn't think so, but there's this roto jagrogan@vax1... -- -- uunet!sugar!karl | "Everyone has a purpose in life.

Not only that, but he stole them from somebody else!!! AND changed them AND changed the name of the guy he stole them from! In fact, the originals said IBM PC everywhere he inserted Amiga! What do you bet he posted them to EVERY comp.sys.#? group with different words and a different "author's name"?

From article <6389@watdcsu.waterloo.edu>, by bmaraldo@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (Commander Brett Maraldo): [...] >There seem > to be 3 systems worth considering when going he computer-MIDI route: IBM(and > clones), Mac, and Atari. [...] (uh oh... you knew this was gonna happen...) I dont want to start the ususal "my computer's better than your's" war... really! All I want to say is that I believe that the Commodore Amiga is well worth considering for computer-MIDI work. There is a growing number of excellent music software titles, and lots of satisfied Amiga owners. > Atari's are cheap: I bought a 512K 520ST used for $200Can and upgraded to > 4meg for an additional $1500 - a 4meg 8MHz 68000 machine with a windowed > operating system for $1700... that's not too bad. similar for the Amiga. I got a slightly used (only on sundays to church) 2000, 40 meg internal Hard Drive, 3 meg o' memory, two internal 880k floppies with a windowing operating system that is multi-tasking (8-) !!!) for $1600. that's not too bad either! > As for other software for the ST: a fast efficient C compiler, many > windowed word processors, lots of competent spread sheets, etc. The other > thing I like about the ST is that software is cheaper than for the PC's. similar for the Amiga. plus it has a multi-tasking operating system!!! 8-) seriously, take a look for yourself, and you may be quite impressed. DISCLAIMER: I do not work for Commodore (though would consider the possibility), I am only a satisfied owner. I am not a musician, just a computer-weenie who likes to pretend (hey, if musicans can get into computers via MIDI, why can't I try doing it the other way arround?) ralph ___________________________________________________________________________ Ralph A Foy UUCP: raf@burdvax.UUCP Unisys/Paoli Research Center ARPA: raf@prc.unisys.com PO Box 517 (215) 648-7324 (work) Paoli, PA 19301 (215) 431-2556 (home) ___________________________________________________________________________ "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." -- Justice Louis B.
