- Wrong. You've got an instinctual feeling that it's the OS, but that isn't
- it. The thing that holds people to the Amiga is the fact that it isn't a PC.
- It's th efact that it isn't EASY to own an Amiga. It's a choice that people
- make when they are prepared to stand by it. And then they are rewarded for
- making that choice by having a fun OS and a very rewarding environmentto
- work on that BARELY NO ONE ELSE uses. That's why people like Amiga.

- You've got the give up this idea that an Amiga has to be able to do
- everything that a PC can. That is like.. well that like writing a paper for
- some class, planning on what the teacher would like. That makes a shitty
- paper. Instead what you should do is write that paper to the best it can be,
- and then be happy with the result, for YOURSELF.
-
- This is what Amiga should be doing. It's time that we let Big
- Brother PC do what it has to do. The things that drive a PC market are not
- the things that appeal to an true Amiga user. People with PC's run things
- because they are TOLD to run them. One time a PC die-hard mocked me for not
- knowing how to use Lotus. Why the FUCK would I ever want to buy a computer,
- at my home, and then buy some weird business program (read: WORK) that I
- really have no use for? I mean, I wouldn't, right? BUT PC PEOPLE DO.
-
- Look at all the shit that comes with a PC these days. A CD-ROM with
- some animals on it, BIG FUCKING DEAL!
-
- Look what an Amiga comes with: A word processor, an image processor,
- a paint program, and internet software. Shit that you can actually USE and
- that you might NEED.
-
-
- The last thing we need to do is to try and turn the Amiga into a PC.
- We don't need to have their games, we don't need their applications, and we
- certainly don't need their graphics cards. Why not just buy a fucking PC!?
- It'd probably be a lot cheaper.
