- >Can't afford a top end Amiga..Way overpriced for a slow 040 box..
- >
-
- $2000. for an 060 Amiga 3000 with gfx card. $1600. for 060 Amiga3000 by
- itself.
- This is not overpriced and not slow. Just admit
- that you don't have any idea what you can get and are a lame mac user that
- is pissed that AMiga does well.
-
- >So Marathon and Powerpoint is lame software?
- >
-
- Sorry, don't even know what they are. My Amiga has evertying I need for
- all my applications/uses.
-
- >1,500 native apps...You obviously have not looked at PowerMacs.. Are you
- >intentionaly being stupid?

- >Whats a real Mac? There are many models at performance and price point.
- >Please identify the Mac model you are referring to..

-
- hehe... You sound like a lame mac salesman. I am not interested in mac
- computers, and never will be. You can stop the sales pitch :)
- My Amiga does evertying I need it to do, and has for many years. If I
- want to ever check out something on a mac computer, I will just run it on
- my Amiga anyways :)
-
- I have never seen a decent BBS Program on a mac computer. That is the main
- bussiness I am in, and Amiga is the best for BBS Systems. No bbs program on
- ibm or mac can compare to the control and use of Amiga bbs programs.

- >Atari 2600 style game... No thanks..
- >
-
- hahaha.. This shows your ignorance of the Amiga computer :)
-
- Mac's and Ibm's both have been struggling for 10 years! to be able to run
- as good as an Amiga did 10 years ago. Yeah Amiga is just a games machine
- that has out performed mac and ibm for 10 years.
-
- Now that your mac and the ibm's have fast enough processors finally to run
- their slow bloated crap os's at a decent speed, you think Amiga has never
- been usefull and still isn't. You haven't a clue about Amiga's and are
- totally ignoring the fact that ibm's and mac's have been total crap for 10
- years.
-
- >Quality..More like a scam..PowerMacs are of higher quality than any Amiga model
- >that has been released..I've owned about every Amiga model except the A4000..
- >
-
- But you have never owned a true top end Amiga in your life.
-
- I perfer Amiga 3000's myself with high end 040's or 060's in them with
- a cybervision gfx card. That truely is a kick ass machine.
- And you can buy it for $2000. or less.
-
- Amiga's have very HIGH QUALITY Applications, and the OS is still of higher
- quailty. As I run a large bbs system, running on Amiga is the clear choice.
- Amiga's are the best for bbs systems, and they are the most stable computers.
- Ibm's/Mac's crash too often.
-
- >No, just for entertainment and nurse on a Molson..
- >>
-
- hahahah.. At least be honest. If you were truely happy with your happy mac,
- you would not be in here.
-
- Well bottom line is, I am more than happy with Amiga's, and I can run mac
- software on my Amiga perfectly so there would never be a need to buy a
- mac machine.
