Look at the case of the Dreamcast it existed for a long time before
PS2, but large software firms left it alone in favour of the PS2 or
even the XBox

The problem is that he come across as an asshole ALL the time! I'm
sure he really isn't. Well actually I'm not sure, how can someone
act like that towards other people all the time and not be one?

You always see Ralph getting the boot in first.

No-one ever said that there shouldn't be a choice, i'm not saying
that you shouldn't be able to choose, but there is too few people
left to support more than one option.

They're just in their little gang. It is all politics. Very sad.

Am I supposed to cry over that? As I've said many times before I'm
not an "Amigan" I'm an amiga USER, and I've been usign PCs far longer
than I have amigas, and don't have a problem with them. I just
prefer using my amiga where I can.
