After all the pissing and moaning in certain other threads, it's time to get serious...

It's a question we all need to consider seriously...

With whom would you prefer to blow the froth of a coldie (or three)?

Bartender! a poll, methinks... :-)

Mike.

Hi,

I would probably choose Karlos to have a beer with, but since he isn't in the poll (smart move) I chose Franko.

@ Dave,

Sorry man you lost, I work with electronic engineers all day long, so when I get away from them I am at peace. At this point in time I think all engineers suck. Lets take all the cases on the Amiga, who ever designed these should spend the rest of his life taking them apart so the techs can get in there and fix them. Plus none of the engineers had the fore sight to build the graphics so that they could easily be changed in the Amiga. I mean come on man, did you think that the AGA would last forever, no upgrade paths. I could go on and on about the design phase of the Amiga but what good would it do. It died because no fore sight for the future.

Now Franko,

This dude is very interesting, he has 2 brain cells and I think both of his cells only talk to themselves. There definitely is no communication between the both of them. Besides that I sort of agree with him on 90% of the stuff he thinks about because my 2 brains cells don't talk to each other either.

Other OS developers, sorry I don't like any of them, they are looking in the wrong direction. What we really need is an Amiga type OS that will work on the PC. PPC is dead. Any developement in this area is doomed to go bye bye in a few years if not earlier. What we want to do is move ahead, not look backwards. We want hardware that works, and an OS that we can manipulate and have fun with. Actually the PC hardware today is great, it is the Windows OS that sucks. Linux is a great OS, why, not because I say so, but because since Ubuntu 6.05 I have not lost any data or had a major crash, but once again since software developers are not supporting it (thanks to threats and payoffs by MicroSoft) software is made by open source publishers or hobby programmers. Why doesn't Turbo Tax support Linux?
Why don't game mfg's support Linux? Why isn't there ports of all the big software packs made available to Linux?

BECAUSE MICROSOFT SAYS SO!!

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

I believe you when you said you have only 2 brain cells. You can't tell the difference between Linux and Amiga os. The 2 have absolutely nothing in common with each other! They're nothing alike! :madashell:

What you really want is AROS :)

I like Linux too. I use Ububtu10.10. It's great! But it's not an Amiga os.


I have AROS, I have tried it on all three of my big computers, Get no sound, no internet and on one no screen. It just plain rots. Maybe if I go up in the attic and dig out one of my 10 year old computers, it might work.
