No corn man, you are an idiot, re-read everything again and concentrate
real real hard.  4 Colors?  Your an idiot, you must of been born that way.

I have never heard nor seen anyone ever use a TV for their Amiga, drop
the subject. Amiga people use monitors just like lame ibm people.

My Amiga has a graphics card, standard Amiga's look fine.  My A3000 loooked
great without the graphics card too.. You are too lame..

There is no speed nosedive using 800x600, and the point was that you
were wrong yet again.  Admit you are wrong and an idiot, instead of
excuses that make you look even worst and are not correct either.

Lame = YOU!  Your such a tinker-toy... You actually loaded the standard
prefs of the OS and set your screen mode.. Yeah most people can't figure
this out, they have to be a tinker toy like you.

ACron man, where did I say that no ibm's had built in gfx?   You had
nothing to say so you come out with worthless crap like this.

What?  I don't have the words to describe your ignorance..

I simply clicked the install that copies files over to the system dirs..
now how exactly is that more complicated than moving some files?   It is
easier since I don't move anything.. I just clicked an icon.

What exactly is wrong?  You think Windows 95 is a cool OS?  You think it is
easy for people to add hardware?  You think Windows 95 mulitasks as well as
an Amiga? or even half as good?  No it doesn't.

Yeah I forgot, your are a tinker toy.. you know how to load preference
programs on Amiga and click a setting..  Yeah most people could not figure
out how to load prefs and actually click a setting..  You are so clever...

haha.. is this your "I don't have a clue, but take that" line?

People are buying Amigas in droves too, and the ones leaving Amiga's are selling
their Amigas to others too.   Duh..    Again you don't have a clue.

Oh yeah, your comments never insult people do they..  If you don't like
comments on your ignorance, don't be so damm ignorant.  We should get you
an award for being the most clueless guy on the net.

Windows 95 failed because it was made by Microsoft.  Mircosoft dos and
windows is the main reason ibm's suck so much..   If microsoft was never
created, ibm's could of been a much nicer machine with better OS's, who
knows.  Like I said, windows 95 didn't produce what they advertized..
It failed to do so.  As usual.  Microsoft HYPE without results.
