History will judge me as a dork...

I just used Google to do a search on my name and in usenet I had tons of messages talking about computers, atari st versus amiga threads and stuff. God, I wish there was some way to delete all my messages.

That brings back memories

I always hated how the brand loyalists were almost all too ignorant to realize that the two companies essentially swapped bodies between the 8-bit and 16-bit eras: Atari 8-bit fans would run down the Amiga even though it was designed by some of the l33t 8-bit Atari team, and Commodore fools would blast the Atari ST even though it was really Jack T's 16-bit C-64.

<-- 8-bit geezer

Yep, I always thought Atari and Commodore were basically cousins. I usually tried to defend the Atari ST and I never put down the Amiga since I felt it was technically superior and it was designed by the same guys who designed my beloved Atari 800.

I still have my Atari 800, Atari 130XE, and Atari Mega ST4 systems.

Why wait for the future to pass its judgement? I can judge you a dork now!

Just kidding.

Is this your real name or a handle of some kind? Either way, if someone does enough research to find that information on you, they are at least as dorky as the rest of us.

It was my real name unfortunately.

I still have both an Atari 130xe and a Commodore 64, but mostly because I've somehow managed to go a decade without finding time to transfer the game ports I did for Adventure International to disk images for PC emulators. Now that's procrastination
