- Actually guys. The things I fancy most about the Amiga as a user are these:
-
- 1. Common low-end Audio and GFX. Demos and programs will work on all
- machines without any trouble (unlike the fucking PC's >:( ).
-
- 2. AmigaOS with its ease of use, structure, unlimited patch abilities,
- unbeatable multitasking and feel (I mean that seriously, not even
- Solaris, SunOS, NEXTStep beats it). The ability of having multiple
- screens with different resolution/depth is really great. Draggable
- screens is another feature that I like.
-
- 3. An EXE file on an Amiga is really an EXE file. You don't have to
- start a file which starts another file which....just to find out that
- the file "ADB43ZOFS8~.dat" in C:\? doesn't exist :) This we can thank
- the shared libraries for.
-
- 4. The dedicated users. People who actually loves their machines (bizzar :)),
- the atmosphere.
-
- 5. Knowing who the designers are, talk to them via e-mail personally and
- actually receive an answer, follow the debate, discussing rumors etc. etc.
- (have anybody of you spoken to Mr. $$ Gates? :) ).
-
-
- See, Amiga is more than just hardware or software - it's the whole thing that
- makes us (me?) whant to use it instead of shitty PC's (though I have a P90 for
- boring stuff :)).
-
- I have been using computers all my life and I can tell you this; If the Amiga dies,
- my computer interest dies. PC's ===== NO FUN, NO FEELING!
