- No, I don't think you've played Doom95 on your Amiga.

- They have. Windows NT 3.51. AmigaOS is a joke compared to it, when it

- AmigaOS is truly bloated.

- If the "PC OS bloatedness" is due to crappy ibm hardware, then why pray

- maybe four, probably less), and 32 megabytes for normal use (8 or 16 for

-
- Are you claiming DEC Alpha machines are piece of shit, because they need
- more memory than x86-machines?

- Certainly not, but why then do all these clueless Amiga freaks keep
