- Amiga can't compare with the graphics performance of fast SGI:s or Alpha
- based NT computers with OpenGl in hardware.
-
- Many former users of Amigas uses SGI:s and NT computers today for grahics
- work.

- 1. I'm not stuck with either MS or Intel. (MS also makes many poor
- products).
-
- 2. NT can run on several non-intel CPU:s like.
-
- 3. You can run several non-MS OS'es on the Intel PC like Linux if you
- want a cheap and very fast Unix workstation.
-
- 4. I support many non-ms & non-intel platforms (like Sparc/Solaris).
-
- In short: I judge each prodcuts on their own merits (and not after if
- they are about a special company or not).

-
- I'm very sorry that you feel that way.
-
- Why not use the products you like, and stop being angry at other users
- who use what they prefer?
