- Not gonna happen.. Amiga buses do not run at 64 bits.. I believe the

- Bullshit...
- When did I ever hear Amiga have tcp/ip internet clients in 1985??? The world
- wide web was not even in exisitence until 1987.. Even then, its was a textual
- excursion... All I hear is Bullshit !!!
- Back in 1985, Amiga had Dpaint which you couldn't run in a smaller window.
- Its no comparison to Photoshop.
- HAM animation doesn't allow you to do other graphics jobs while it played;
- usually occupying the screen and video resources.. And there were no TCP/IP
- clients for the Amiga ... If so, they Amiga sure did beat Mosaic as the first
- Web browser... I don't think so....
