- This is the business world. The Amiga will die of its own accord if the
- laws of natural selection hold up. The situation in Europe is different
- then in the North America. Commodore had more presense in Europe and more
- recognition.
- Athough the system is currently outdated, take into account the 2+ year
- period of inactivity in development. Certain aspects of the system are
- still better than that what is out there (i.e. OS kernal, graphic chipset)
- in the way of managing its resources and making the best of what it has.
-
- On the other hand, if this was two years ago, the same could be said for
- MS-Windows 3.x. It was a kludge of DOS and Windows, pre-emptive
- multitasking, no plug-and-play, and a resource hog. Of course Win95 does
- need 16MB memory to realistically operate efficiently and 40MB hard drive
- space just for the OS. If it was two years ago, Windows3.1 should have
- been dead.
-
- Let nature take its course, if the Amiga is intended to die, it will.
- There is no need to anybody to be jumping into a newsgroup they don't like
- just for spite. (and jealousy)
