- Why the hell should we do that? Don't you know how buggy and bad

- Windows NT. It has a working multitasking. And I want to have multitasking
- since I'm used to the Amiga, and no simple task-swapping..

- But we lucky europeans is far away from USA, we can use all the features of
- PGP and we don't get our www-sites closed by the goverment.
-
- We have AGA... But I think that AT should try implementing the Trio3 chip,
- as found on the Cybervision card, and also various other cards.
-
- I recently was at a big computer party here in Norway, and the mayority of
- the PC's there was running Doom in network, and there was a lot of expanded
- Amigas there, running LightWave and other great applications, some of them
- running PhotoShop on a MAC, while rendering pictures on the Amiga side just a
- 'amiga-m' away.
