...what I don't understand is Amiga users bashing everyone when in fact they have using Wintel computers as their machines for more than 10 years now while there were clearly better alternatives elsewhere.


I have a Windows install for gaming, because like it or not, that's what it excels at. The rest of the time that I use x86, I do do so with linux.

Say what you like, those Apple shares I bought around the turn of the century for $20 are making me consider my retirement plans....


With all the apple stuff you doubtless bought over the years, I bet you haven't even broken even :p

There seems to be a fair bit of mis-understanding about the post pc world and I'll admit Steve jobs was a part of the misunderstanding.  

It doesn't mean that the desktop or notebook will go away, it simply means that front and centre will be taken by another device, the tablet.  Before the post pc world we were in a post mainframe world, but there were and still are a large number of mainframes and likely will be for decades to come.


Pity it doesn't mean PCWorld will go away :lol:
