- Ok so you had a 5 mip machine, is this suppose to be alot better than a 0.8
- mip machine? You never owned a Top End Amiga then, you don't know what you
- are talking about, now we know. :) Thanks for letting us know that you
- are clueless about the Amiga's abilities and why.

-
- Yes I know of Power Macs, acorn, but most mac software isn't made for a PowerPC
- chip, and even the Mac OS itself is not fully using the PowerPC chip, so you
- can't really compare a Power PC performance with a mac computer's perforance
- can we. And this still does not change the fact that Amiga's run Mac software
- perfectly, in some cases even better than a real mac can.
-
- Cost of a mac or ibm computer doesn't mean shit to a person that wants a Real
- Computer. If you are a clueless sheep, then your averge crap box ibm is fine,
- but if you want a real computer with no hazzles that gets the job done better
- and cheaper than mac/ibm, Amiga is the way to go. You must remember that the
- Amiga is a far nicer machine/OS than ibm's and mac's put together. If it wasn't,
- everyone would of jumped to ibm/mac a long time ago. There is a reason why
- people have Amiga's and can't stand mac's/ibm's.
-
- I personally will buy an 060 soon for my Amiga, and as soon as the PowerPC 604
- Amiga's come out I will buy one of those too, no matter what the price is.
- I want quality, not cheap crap that I want to throw out the window everytime
- I have to use it.
-
- There also must be a reason why you must keep reading/posting in Amiga areas.
- I think you know that ibm's and mac's suck and you wish they ran like a slow
- Amiga can even, let alone a fast Amiga. If you truely were happy with your
- crap box machine, you wouldn't be here to begin with. You just being here
- tells everyone that your machine sucks.
