- Some time around Mon, 29 Jan 96, John did scribble thus:

- By inference, you suggest that resource wasting isn't a big issue? No
- flame intended, but that's bullshit of the highest calibre. The whole
- debate of resource dissipation always has been, and always will be, a
- significant factor.

- Shouldn't that be considered a Good Thing, and encouraged? Or would you
- rather the Amiga turn into another machine where the usual method of problem
- resolving centres around the "Throw a couple more meg. in there" excuse?
- Just because the Microshite PClone world suffers such an affliction doesn't
- mean it is acceptable practice, or should be tolerated.
-
- You claim, and I quote [the Amiga is] "The most efficient computer out
- there...", which won't be argued, but shouldn't that be capitalized upon in
- ways other than throwing away the odd 400K of RAM and nth clock cycle?

- "Chicken vindaloo then, if you will, my good man", and with that the
- hooded stranger went on his way.
-
- > follow stranger
- I only understand you as far as wanting to follow the stranger.
