- Well, I got to mention that the Amiga lacks applications like Photoshop and QuarkXPress
- (although I personally think it could be improved quite a bit). Although I'm an Amiga
- fanatic I use Macs every day on my job, and I must say they are quite intuitive to use.
- Until last monday I worked at an ad agency and everybody used macs and not just a
- single program, they used them all: Quark, Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, Excel,
- PowerPoint, Maclink, Maconomy. I've never seen that with any other platform. But for
- the expert user the Macs are very limiting. The filerequester sucks (you can't just go
- check something or whatever), copying files stinks (copydoubler is unreliable) and
- everything is so damn slow, except for Photoshop.
-

-
- But it's so sloooow unless you've got CyberVision or something in more than 16 colours.
-
- If I want to play around, do some programming or do detailed game graphics I use my
- amiga, but if I want to write a letter, make my homepage or make a layout for
- anything... even if I wanna play a fun game (Marathon II) over network, I turn my Mac
- on. Don't get me wrong, I love my amiga, but it's too narrow minded to say Macs sucks!
-
- Lets instead concentrate on the amiga and its future!
