"If you really grok the Amiga, Windows will make your head explode..."

-- Dave Haynie

"Perfection. Excellence. What a passionate lover. But once having tasted the lips of excellence, once having given oneself to its perfection, how dreary and burdensome and filled with anomie are the remainder of one's waking hours trapped in the shackled lock-step of the merely ordinary, the barely acceptable, the just okay and not one stroke better."

-- Harlan Ellison

There actually exist some shallow thinkers who are unable to connect the relevance of this quote to the Amiga experience. I hope that you are more fortunate than that! :-)

A student asked the master for help... does this program run from the Workbench? The master grabbed the mouse and pointed to an icon. "What is this?" he asked. The student replied "That's the mouse". The master pressed control-Amiga-Amiga and hit the student on the head with the Amiga ROM Kernel Manual.
