- Uh Peter, shouldn't your type stick to advocacy? If you wanna
- push this stuff do so in its proper place, these are the main
- AMIGA groups not some playground for internet children.
-
- As for your claims of superiority exactly what do you have
- photoshop doing? Maybe since the platforms and the mindset
- in their development is so different you should compare on
- output not apps or OS. That's right, the ultimate leveler,
- doing something, not specs, not razzle dazzle or vaporware
- but real life output. Brochure, video, demo, manual, kiosk
- display - whatever, with a complete list of costs and time
- spent. Then you could see how much the AMIGA can do on its
- own versus the applebox.
-
- Stay in advocacy Peter, there your attitude and overlarge
- sig don't matter.
