- Why do you find something you don't understand or use so offensive ?
- Unix is not outdated, it is VERY mature. FYI all the leading internet
- development happens on unix first and 95% of people connecting to the
- internet do so via unix systems. What is so bad about that ?
-
- Unix maybe cryptic but for an OS that offers so much power it has to
- be sophisticated. If cryptic=power then gimme cryptic anyday.
-
- The Amiga is a wonderful personal user OS and unix is an excellent
- multi-user server OS.. Windows and Macs have *some* excellent apps
- because of their market mass.. is not all groovy and as it should be?
-
- If you don't need to run a large network server and don't need to use
- some kind of industry-standard application and do like to play with
- a groovy OS then use an Amiga, for sure.
