- Here are a couple of questions (Flames OK)
-
- 1: What is the difference between programming on a Mac or an Amiga?
-
- 2: Will Apple's ButtKicker line (PowerPC) kill off the C= line?
-
- 3: I heard the Amiga is the only computer out there with every
- major app key-disk or hardware copy-protected. It this true,
- or crockery?
-
- 4: How large is the C= presence in the US and worldwide?
-
- 4.5: What are these freddie fish, or whatever thingies that are at
- the local archive site?
-
- 5: Is the Amiga considered a workstation? :-) (For people reading c.s.m.a)
-
- 6: Is there a UNIX that is runnable on the systems?
-
- 7: Where can I find a C= dealer? (These birds are as rare as
- hen's teeth around Austin, TX)
-
- 8: What encryption proggies are there to secure hard disks or files?
-
- 9: Does C= sell TEMPEST spec Amigas?
-
- 10: How crashworthy is the Amiga OS?
-
- 11: (The beeg question :-) Why should I port stuff over to the
- Amiga line?
-
- PS: Thanks in advance for any mail, and flames.
