ah, but I do have PPC...and I've tested all the environments, which is why
I DO run WarpUP ;-)

?? I thought you just bought the Amiga SDK for developing for the new OS

i dotn rate the PUP/WUP 'war' that much. more damage was done by those in
charge of the Amiga that time...who wisely said 'No, we're not going to be
using PPC' - WUP and PUP programs can pretty much exist in the same
machine environment (barring a very few problematic programs).

If 'Amiga' hadnt f****d up the new CPU issue (ie said nothing!! instead of
saying something and then DOING nothing!) then PowerUP board sales would
have stayed high and the market-forces would easily have chosen the route
to take.

> No, it's that StormC sucks rotting donkey cock.

ah, you've used StormC3 then too eh? yes, I was put off by that release
somewhat (which i why I use memacs with gcc as my choice for coding.)
