Hey guys. Don't stop reading now, but don't you think it's time for an AMOS
port for PC:s? Seriously, The Amiga is a wonderfull machine and all but you
must admit it's not THAT popular anymore. And the AMOS programming
language is far to important to sink with the amiga (Okay, I know most of you
say the amiga will rise again and sure, if it did I would be the first to start writing
Amiga AMOS extensions again but until it does...)
You know... When a guy with a PC want's to start programming he gets to
choose between QuickBasic, which is deadly boring and almost unusable for
any form of graphics programming, or Klik and Play, which is not programming
at all. (You seriously don't learn programming from drag dropping your mouse
for an hour.) Am I completetly wrong? Is there no interest whatsoever for a
PC-Amos? Well, If I am not, do you think it would be possible to get the
source from Mandarin Software (Or whoever owns it now) or do you think it
would be easier to rewrite the whole thing. Or, am I possibly to late? Is there
already some sort of PC-Amos port? Please mail me your opinions (or post
'em right here for that matter...)
