Multiple OS users
« on: October 28, 2011, 06:06:54 AM »
How many of us Amiga.org users currently have more than one OS that we use on a regular basis?

I'll start by listing all the OSes I use at least once a week.

AmigaOS1.3 to 3.9
MorphOS2.7 & 3.0 beta
MacOSX 10.5.8
Windows Vista Ultimate

and occasionally,

Linux Ubuntu 10.10 PPC

I use just about ever OS except those pertaining to anything that uses MAC, I can't stand a apple product, I get the willies just thinking about touching one. It is a very slimy machine.

I don't know how many years I have read your posts repeating this phobia toward inanimate electrical devices that were at one time associated with the Apple company.

Have you considered getting some psychological treatment to overcome your fear, or irrational hatred of these electrical devices?  :roflmao:

Surely it can't have anything to do with you thinking that by purchasing a 5 or 10 year old piece of used computer hardware you would be contributing to, or benefiting the manufacturer that you hate so much?

Also, as long as I practice good personal hygiene, none of my computers become "slimy".  Do yours?

Edit:  Apple makes the finest quality G4 computers that were mass marketed on the planet.  Your feeble attempts to discredit them are sad little moans that are not based on any technical merit or reasoning.  Your constant posting of your emotional feelings about using anything associated with Apple does not inspire confidence in your technical opinions or knowledge.  Other than that you seem to be an okay guy most of the time.

At work, I have no choice.  Windows XP professional on corporate network.

At home we have three x86 tower systems, an x86 laptop, my PPC system and an ancient A2000HD (mostly retired).

Windows 7, Windows XP, QNX, OS4 and AmigaOS 3.1.

At home, I use OS4 and QNX the most and occasionally AmigaOS 3.1 for old times sake.

I always regretted that the partnership between Amiga and QNX did not survive and flourish.  I think it could have been a good partnership and we might have gotten a better official Next Gen AmigaOS sooner if that partnership had lasted.  The failed partnership with QNX is just one more missed opportunity in the long and sad Amiga history.

You don't see to many people that use QNX posting about it on Amiga forum sites.  Do you have any idea how large, or small the QNX for desktop user base is and what the number of developers writing software for it might be?
