Re: Why do you stick with the Amiga?

Why do I stick with the Amiga?.... Lots of reasons.. The
fact that there are freeware apps on the Amiga that work
better than some commercial apps. on the PC... A big part of
it is the sense of community with Amiga users...
Not long ago, A4000_Mad from here helped me much fixing up
my DirOpus config. and has E-Mailed me regularly ever since...

Maybe it's the fact that my A1200 Tower is my favorite computer,
so I have always spent more money on it :) (It has the 20"
Stereo monitor, $500.00 (when new) Epson Stylus Photo printer,
scanner, digitizer (audio and video) etc.....

Maybe it's just because, when I boot up my miggy, I don't blurt
out, "OK, NOW what's wrong...."
Compare that to my dad's Win98SE machine, that will 'sometimes'
connect to the Internet, 'sometimes' his image processing programs
work.... My WinXP machine connects fine....if you wait long enough..

In the time it takes me to get connected on my PC, I have
booted up my Amiga, gone online, read my E-Mail, and shut it
off....
And what idiot at Micro$oft thought of putting 'shut down' under
the 'start' menu??? My amiga has a shut down button too, it's called
the power switch.....
