who are your customers?


I think that says it all.

I use Windows XP on PC and it does everything I want a computer to do.

That statement goes for the mayority of people on the globe.

Amiga had the image of a toy when it went down. For the people that still remember the thing it is still a toy.

Yes, a toy! Even the die hard Amiga fundamentalists.

Once there, you don't have applications yet. So it's just a toy.


There is not even a decent browser on the amiga.
And would there be one I'd need something RTG to make it go.
And then we would have....

....just PCs with PPCs


So those who are still working on Amiga things are not doing anything what will shake the world.

Maybe someday when all microsoft goes bad and the AmigaOS is that cheap and is able to run on stock hardware, people might take notice.

I think I'll have more chance being struck by lightning or win the lottery (which I do not participate in).

I'm going back playing SWOS on my Amiga which is a toy to me for a long time. And that is what it will always be.

Nice article dave.

EDIT:
As I understand those fundamentalists are to be found at AW.net on which I would be shot on sight for my point of view.

Now that is one true thing. I had my amiga stashed away during some renovation of my house. All that time a couldn't use it. Perhaps that is the closest what I got to feeling a complete starved junky.

Anyway, about that responsiveness; Why does my amiga freeze when I hold the mouse button down. Only to come back alive on release. Is this an amiga thing? Or do I have a crap setup ;-).
