- Marc, same goes for you. This is not advocacy. If you wish to do
- your thing please do so in the proper groups. These are the main
- AMIGA forums and do not need to suffer the wasted bandwidth that
- your are taking up.
-
- If you, like Peter and Nathanael, cannot edit your reply lines I
- think it is time that you contacted your sysadmin and asked that
- he provide you with assistance in this matter. It's very hard to
- take you seriously when you cannot even limit your posts to more
- appropriate venues after all of this time.
-
- Again, if you want to compare between AMIGAS and Macs then maybe
- you should come up with a real world project that would show the
- timelines, costs and equipment needed to create something on the
- two platforms that would not be so handicapped by the difference
- in the mindset of the OS, specs of the machines and applications
- available. Output. That's what people get paid for.
