- Everyone seems to like this UNiX thing. (Pointless really, buy a
- WIMPS machine, then immediately stuff UNix onto it, and use it as default
- but....)
-
- So, since you obviously don't want to use the Atari as such, why not buy
- a UNix Machine?? (GEM programs don't usually work too well from CLI,
- unless GEM is booted first, and then they have been known to complain,
- although, not much 8-)
-
-
- Why does everyone out there seem to use UNiX on their ST, instead of getting
- a REAL UNiX machine, which would drop compatibility problems (if any)
- to pretty much NOTHING, and you wouldn't have to chance seeing the GEM
- environment again. Any GOOD reasons?? (Of course, you wouldn't be
- able to run any ST-Programs on a UNiX machine, but if you run UNiX anyway,
- you should be reasonably used to that.)
