(I'm
really freaked out!!! I just lost an
excellent post using the Koivi editor option. (The one below is fairly close to the one I made.) I selected "preview" and my whole post dissapeared except for the first 2 sentences I typed before I selected it as an option. This is AFTER I highlighted all the text and selected "copy all". IT DID NOT GET SAVED. I couldn't recover my post from the clipboard, except for the first 2 sentences.

Hi!
In case we haven't met, my name is Thierry.
I am afflicted with "Amiganism".
I refuse all attempts for cure/recovery.
In 1985-86 I read about two new platforms.
There was a fierce competition there. A rivalry.
Atari and Amiga.
I saw both, and Atari (520 ST) was behind by a stellar distance... Not even close!
I saw Amiga for what it was, and for what it could be....
It unleashed creativity. It allowed it to be shared with everyone, far and wide.
"Multi-media" had arrived, before the word was born!
And it was "
PUUURFECT"!
There was Apple (Mac), Linux (later), and wretched windross...
These were not in the same league at all!!!
Lack of a "fun factor" combined with inadequate performance, missing features, and difficulty of operation were truely a "keep out" sign I obey to this day.
Given enough dedication and $$$,
anywhere that the other OS' may have climbed through to, Amiga can
surpass, and with
eloquence and flair as well. That's why I stick by her.
THE KING IS DEAD BUT THE QUEEN STILL LIVES!
So I am here waiting, waiting, waiting....
