- Done that, been there... Amiga runs 10000x nicer than any ibm when it comes
- to mulitasking. Windows 95 on an ibm sucks compared to an Amiga of 10 years
- ago even. I can play doom games on my Amiga in the background of my multi
- line bbs system and other things running in background.. I can do this with
- a much slower cpu than you can on an ibm... Ibm's and intel's do NOT compare,
- they suck.
-
- Don't you wonder why I can do MORE than you can with LESS CPU and Memory?
-
- This may hurt to know but it is very true. IBM's with their bloated/garbage
- os's suck. You would think that after all this time, around 10 years, that
- microsoft could come up with something better than windows and windows 95.
- These os's (or msdos programs) are mostly to blame for ibm's being a peice of
- shit like they have always been and still are.
-
- - A 386 running windows can print in background? Wow.. even if it could
- be done, it is not something to brag about. I remember an idiot ibm user
- testing betas of windows 95 and saw that he could almost do tape backup in
- the background, he started breaking down with excitement (almost crying).
- He was so happy that he could almost do backups and still do soemthing else
- with his junk ibm. This is how ibm's have been for most people in the world,
- and still is for most people in the world.. I felt sorry for this guy.. If
- only he had an Amiga to begin with he would of always of known that he
- could multitask. Ibm's are a bit better these days but they still suck.
