Amiga wants you! : Comment 145 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by samface on 19-Jul-2003 06:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 144 (Anonymous): Please stop making things more complicated than they have to. An Amiga user is someone using an Amiga product as an Amiga product, period.
Want me to elaborate? Well, ok:
If you use Linux, you are a Linux user, regardless if you use an Amiga, since Linux users are not defined by what hardware they use. However, does that stop you from beeing an Amiga user too? No, if you have Amiga hardware that you dual boot between AmigaOS and Linux, you are obviously a little bit of both.
However, if an Amiga hardware owner removes the OS and never let the hardware function as it was intended, ie only runs Linux or MorphOS, I wouldn't refer to that person as an Amiga user anymore. Sure, he is an Amiga owner, but not an Amiga user. See the difference?
A Pegasos with MorphOS has nothing to do with Amiga besides the ability to run AmigaOS3.x applications. Even somone using an emulator is closer to beeing an Amiga user since atleast he is using the real AmigaOS binaries. Saying that a Pegasos with MorphOS is an Amiga is like saying that I'm Michael Jackson because I can impersonate him really well. Nothing can be more far from the truth, IMO.
It's as simple as that, really. |
