My board used to have a message base just for tech flame posts. We had
lots of OS/2 versus Amiga arguments on the board, sort of like watching
two kids fighting it out to see who's the baddest ass in the Physics
club.

sure, whatever... but OS/2 is THE BEST Operating System in the world,
can run circles around anything else, and it looks nicer, and will cook
your breakfast for you, and make your coffee, and has 3D-bordered
icons, and is nifty, and looks cool, and is True-Blue, and can run DOS
better than DOS, and will take out the garbage, and will get you chicks,
and has got a 438 Hemi duo-blaster twin quad super injection turbo
ramjet ultra thingy that makes it go real fast, and it can juggle, and
it knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake, and
it will end world hunger, and it has fine Corinthian leather, and it
never makes you say you're sorry, and it always uses a condom, and it
likes the kinds of pizza and ice cream that you like, and it plays
bitchin' guitar, and it manages files like there's no tomorrow, and its
object-oriented multi-media neural-net shipping next quarter, and it is
bullit-proof like 20 layers of #4 Kevlar body armor, and it is so
multi-threaded that it weaves a heavy wool blanket while its idleing,
and my momma told me when I was just a lad that it was the best, and it
has a heavy manual, and it uses less characters in its name than other
OS's, and its recomended by four out of five dentists, and it can kick
Superman's ass, and it's meaner than the junkyard dog, and its the
choice of the next generation, and it will let you so many things at the
same time that your head will spin, and it can dance, and ... oh never
mind... it sucks...
