Cleaned out my airing cupboard yesterday, nine years it has had stuff pushed into it, most not to come out, old bedding, towels, a load of old coats for some reason, a wall bracket for an old style portable TV, a box of audio cassettes (my daughter who is 9 had no idea what they were), and two floppy disc boxes.
One contained discs 11 to 60 of Lotus SmartSuite 97, no idea where the first ten discs are.
The second contained Amiga software, mostly copied games, a few cover discs, the occasional original game, a strip poker game, and two other discs that I suspect from the hand written labels were pr0n.
Is there much of a market for Amiga pr0n these days?
Can't remember most of the games now, Sensible Soccer (obviously), Shadow of the Beast II, Days of Thunder, Back to the Future II, Nightbreed were definitely there.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I've got a CD of that somewhere! 
Still my favourite word processor - although I have to use Word these days for compatibility with customers - fast, simple, small, and very powerful.
The rest of SmartSuite was pants though.

Ah, the Amiga was the greatest of all Ataris.
How about playing 'Defender of the Crown'?

And the interaction.

So your inference being you hate a person and yet like to have some kind of interaction with him/her? 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

You can hate a person and like punching them in the face.
Conversely, you can like a person and hate punching them.
The enjoyment potential of all interactions is relative to the persons interacting.

You seem to have taken the literal meaning of my question.
My point was, given the person alone, one can infer the possible interactions with him/her.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

I'd say the interaction depends on the human.

Absolutely!
As an example, (rant begin)
Over the last three days, I have dodged 4 phone calls from my brother-in-law, even though he has left two voicemails that I have not listened to yet. It's kind of psychopathetic like 'I will not be ignored!'. Additionally, it irritates me when the message is something like 'hey, call me'. Believe me, I already know that you called, and now I have to waste my time deleting your stupid, pointless message. I really don't want to listen to your whining and complaining about the arthritis and all the medications you take, or the doctor's visits you have scheduled. I'm tired of hearing about how family members (my wife) don't acknowledge the brilliance of your genuine and heartfelt arsebook posts or respond to your mostly political 'humor' or 'patriotic' emails!  (rant end)
Wow, I feel so much better after getting that out of my system! Does anybody else have a relative that does nothing more than bit*h about everything?...or did I just get lucky? This guy is retired, and has not respect for my work hours...damn, that's him again...I must deal with this I suppose.

By far the most exciting interactions in my life have been with aliens, and among those who perceived me as alien.
As I like to say in Thai: "Pom mā cāk dāwkherāah̄̒ dwng thī̀ s̄ām k̄hxng dwng xāthity̒ k̄hxng khuṇ:" "I come from the third planet of your sun."

I find the delusional systems of the inhabitants ... manifesting as politics, religions, national identities, the trans-national cult of shopping and conspicuous consumption, and the sexual cults of movie and music "stars" ... more interesting than the delusional system the inhabitants call "reality" (of course, none of them define "reality" the same way, or can agree on what that is).
cheers, Bill
