- Ya lets stick with small boring NON GUI programs that are nice and fast even
- on 68000 512K systems! With accelerators and More Ram only needed when you
- like using more then 1 program. Ya thats it...
-
- Get real, thats part of the problem of why the Amiga has been dieing a slow
- death. Each year the Amiga is held back from the Clones and Mac's. As there
- systems got Faster and Faster, Programs got larger and larger mainly for the
- better, with Much more Features and nice Looking GUI's, What do you think most
- people are buying? There buying Computers that LOOK Nice, have Lots of
- Features, and Great Software Support. They don't care whats POSIBLE with the
- Amiga. They don't care how Small and Fast you can make a program so it runs
- great on 68000 processor. Hell why do you even have a Amiga, Maybe you should
- have just stuck with a Commodore 64 or something, Make them really nice Small
- compact program with crappy Graphics, and GUI, what GUI, though there was
- Geos. Even back then they wanted a GUI, of course it also requiered more RAM!
-
- It's time to move forward a LOT. Amiga's USED to be far advanced, now where
- not even playing Catchup. Amiga's are going to need much more then just a PPC
- processor. Where talking 16 bit sound, 24 bit Graphics, etc,. all NEEDING
- more Ram and faster Processors.
-
- But hey, you don't like the so caled Microsoft mentality, then go back to a
- Vic-20 for all I care, but I sure want to see the Amiga Live myself.
