@ leirbag28: hear hear (mostly:-)

What's with you people? For Pete's sake this is an AMIGA site, no? I don't come here to hear why Windoze or anything else is  or might be better than Miggy (of course everything has to be taken with a grain of salt; ie if somebody claims that they can run Quake on their Miggy at 1024x756 at 100 fps that has to raise some eyebrows). Let's some Microshaft site do that. I use a Windoze box everyday, I work on them, I put them together for people. Been doing that for years. Still don't like them. Not because I don't like Microshaft (that's another story) but because of the way Windoze works (or doesn't;-). True, it allows one to do more things but not necessarily better and only because of it's market share. It's easy to throw more RAM or a faster CPU in the computer and call it "better". But is it? A computer can do billions of operations a second but it's all useless if it doesn't do what you want it to. Many people still find value in their Miggies and software and more power to them. And I think that's what this site is about. Saying "ohh, but Windoze (or whatever) does that better" is no good. It serves no purpose other than flamewar. We shouldn't allow ourselves fall for such things. If you think Windoze is better, great for you. Use it but do not try to tell me that because that is not why I am here.
