| 1GHz Athlon released : Comment 19 of 32 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by the man in the shadows on 10-Mar-2000 23:00 GMT | This whole posting makes you wonder if this "Plain English" person is an X-Box zealot. "I give unto you, my only son"
I give you... Gatizm... the ability to freely worship anything that Bill Gates does. So, let me guess here really quick Mr. English... The Amiga is dead cause you said so right? Or wait, I know... let me pull up those posts that you have put up on comp.sys.amiga.ADVOCACY and start quoting your awe inspiring worth to the crowd that wants to listen [cherp][cherp]... havn't you gotten a clue yet?
And the crowd goes mild...
The crowd went that way...
Let's take a look at today's marketing strategy and base it around dog food. Do you know why your dog will like the food that you buy them? No you don't. All that you know is that the food that they eat, is something that they eat. That's the normal mentality of today's computer users that are out there buying up PCs and Macs. They don't know what they want. Hell, Apple proved to the world that speed didn't matter for squat with their iMAC. Can you give me an explination for that? OOO, the Athlon is faster... but the iMAC looks nifty sitting by my fridge.
Try this as a test. Go out and get a dog if you don't have one. Give them their food every day and when the finish it, give them a small treat, and take them for a walk. Do that for about 8 years strait. What is goin go to happen if you start taking them for a walk without giving them their treat and then feeding them. They go nuts and start getting confused. Some dogs will even wiz all over the carpet/house until you take them outside after they eat. What's the point? Put a PC in front of someone for 8 years and you'll get the same result. So lay off this "Amiga is shite" attitude and go bugger some linux geeks... er wait, then you'd be bugging me... how about some mac... no, I've got one of those too...
Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I give you... Plain English.
Have you reached your verdict?
