You guys have got to be kidding, aren't you? Aren't you?!  You don't REALLY
want his and her Amigas on opposite sides of the bed, do you?  (do you KNOW
what it's like to share a bed with boxes full of floppy diskettes spilling
all over?!  Or trying to sleep throught the dulcet sounds of the fan on an
old Impact 500 because the drive inside has a sticktion problem and you
don't dare shut it off, lest it not boot up again?!        And as for being
involved with other Amiga owners..... I think I posted some comments awhile
back about THAT! After THAT experience..... I'll keep the Amiga IN my
bedroom, and Amiga owners OUT!  [someone at a party was talking up a
Commodore engineer to me once.  I looked at her and said, I'm not
interested in -him-, I want his COMPUTER!"]

There are female Amiga users.... last time I looked, I was one of them.

Again, you've got to be kidding...... [I haven't seen the earlier articles
in the chain....]]

Or ALT.SEX.BONDAGE?  One of the article writers in THAT forum chased me

The scum referred to indirectly above had an incredibly tacky and tasteless

May all his computers develop read/write errors on his boot disk's boot
blocks, maybe computer viruses corrupt all his data, and may he fall madly
in love with Marc Barrett......
