- Not only that, but the guy is very wrong.
-
- I can run Netscape on my Amiga. Using Shapeshifter.
- Both my Amiga's do SVGA. Meaning can handle 1024x768 screens.
- Overpriced? the current crop is. But mine weren't. Especially
- the A3000 was very good value for money. *wicked grin*
-
- Whine : SVGA? Yes, but not out of the box...
- Answer: So? Neither can a PC. It needs a graphics card as
- well. And good ones cost as much as Amiga gfx cards.
- Whine : but for Shapeshifter you need a lot of memory.

-
