Yeah. To see a glimpse of how ugly it could be, look at the Amiga community. Compared to that, things don't look so bad here, even at their worst.
Thankfully I'm far too broke to be able to afford Amigas so that's not an issue I have to deal with :)

Ha! If the Amiga community is really as toxic as I've heard, that's probably a good thing, as you suggest!

The extreme prices, of course, are probably a symptom of the problem. My impression is that they all think they're this exclusive little club of ultra geeks, so snobbery and belittlement of beginners and anyone else who dares to intrude runs rampant. Artificially keeping prices unreasonably high for almost everything Amiga seems to maintain this exclusivity by acting as a barrier to entry that locks most people out completely.

It's a shame, really, as from what I've read about the Amiga platform, I find it's really quite a fascinating and intriguing platform I wouldn't have minded exploring, especially considering how it shares a CPU architecture (Motorola 68k) in common with early, pre-PPC Macs (indeed, with the proper tools, an Amiga can run early Mac OS versions almost better than a contemporary real Mac could, with the Amiga's access to bigger and better screens being one of the main reasons why, I'm sure).

I've finally gotten the toolbox commands supported in MAME for file downloading. I did most testing with scuzEMU 0.5, but the closed source BlueSCSI "SD Transfer" program works too because I return their dumb magic ID string. Either way I can get things from the Garden into the emulation in record time now. Just download the files to the configured "shared directory" and scuzEMU will see them.
