Hi,

Amiga = Alive

Amiga Inc. = Dead

Amiga Part Sellers = Alive and living quite well

Amiga Software Creators = Dead

Amiga Org = Dead

Amiga Users = The Living Dead

Windows VISTA = Still Alive after major Crash, VISTA claims
                that nvidia was the fault of the crash by
                having an obsolete driver.
Linux = Alive, but still no new games being made for it.
               Linux claims that VISTA is hogging all the
               gamming companies and holding them for
               ransoms if they try to make Linux games.

Have a nice Amiga day

@ Karlos,

Hi,

Why not use them for serious work, I trust my old A4000 for keeping my data more than I trust VISTA, and Windows XP.

Right now it seems that the only other OS that has good properties for not crashing and losing data is Ubuntu Linux, but even it had one surprise crash, when Windows Virus protection software saw Linux as a Virus and wiped it out. So I am counting that as a crash, this happened once in the last three years that I have used it, but as of now, there has been no OS or computer that has taken care of my data like the Amiga, it has had my data on there since 1992. Continues to collect data, and has one of the fastest best backup programs ever made (diskmaster with LHARC).

Have a nice DEAD AMIGA DAY

Hi,

I still use Pen Pal almost every day to add to my video data bases, my disk data bases, my household inventory data base and my cd/dvd game collection data base. I use the gvp iv24 to edit my tapes that I make with my movie camera (JVC mini) and I also use various Amiga graphics effects in my recording. I then transfer them to my PC where I can tune them up and record them to dvd or hard drive.

I never keep anything of value on my PC using Windows Vista or Windows, I have learned through time that the PC is not a very stable machine since its breaking out in 1981 where I set up 92 IBM machines for the Navy, they were junk then and have not improved since. So you can say what you want, PC's are crap and this comes from a person who has a quad 6600 with 4 gig of memory, 3 hard drives, using both Ubuntu (great system so far) and Microsoft windows XP, Vista (32), Vista (64) and the new Windows 7, which is probably the best of the Windows series. Now you can take your new Acer Aspire and Windows and see if you can match my Amiga for stability, as a matter of fact all you PC heads out there match this, since 1993 my Amiga has only had one crash which I induced myself in 1993, it was easily called back due to Diskmaster and LHARC where I had all my data saved on a backup zip drive. Restore time about 20 minutes. Since then the Amiga has had no failures with data, this year I installed a 2.2 gig hard drive which replaced my 1.2 gig hard drive, no the 1.2 gig hard drive was nowhere near filled, I just done it to use an old 2.2 gig hd that I had sitting on the shelf. Once again restore time on new hd was 20 minutes. Now for all you PC users out there with bragging rights, has your computer been going since 1993 without a crash, or without losing data. Rememeber on most computers the first thing they teach you is that the most important thing on your computer is not HARDWARE but your DATA, and I have lost none since 1993 on my Amiga. THANK YOU, How about your ACER ASPIRE?
