Hey all,

I never posted here before, but I decided after I got word of a George
Preddy in here, I would try to warn you.

George Preddy used to post OUTLANDISH claims about his super mega Amiga
computer in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy as SG ... I mean, he used to say his
15 year old Amiga 1000 was faster than server-level dual CPU intel machines.
Just outrageous.

Well, he is known to us in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy group as a complete
lunatic with no grasp of reality. He also claimed to be a US Air Force
pilot (however, he posted so much fn crap in there, and spent so much time
on it, you wonder how he ever even had a job, let alone a demanding military
career) ...

Anyhow, you may find a Google groups search in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy for
SG as basis for his insanity. Also there was a mock interview with him,
which is very funny but also rings fairly true, here:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=SG....rr.com&rnum=1

MY advice: ignore the guy. He is insane.

Thanks
RaYzor

The real George Preddy was a WWII P-51 Mustang driver (352nd Fighter Group,
Eighth Air Force) and was the third ranking US ace in the European Theatre
with 26.83 confirmed kills. Was killed by friendly ground fire on Christmas
day 1944.

For this loser to evoke the name of George Preddy is an insult to all those
who served...
