- As far as I am concerned, the OS _is_the Amiga. That simple. What's

- `*bad* problems' for an hardware-banging game programmer, you mean? I

-
- Again, ` *sucks bigtime*' from your very narrow-minded point of view.
- Face reality, Amiga has survived as an hobbyist, developer, soho user
- machine, _not_ as a game machine. PowerAmiga will be excellent
- machines for the above, and, I believe, as game machines too.

-
- AT really doesn't deserve this. I suggest that you start looking for
- Playstation development system ... or wait to see the real thing, at
- least.
