Just had to say, I love that..  May I quote you?

Sure!


Some cultures actually do honour their dead by mounting the corpse in plain view :-D

But I do agree with the sentiment in this case ;-)

Sorry, I just think you missed the point of my argument, I wasn't comparing the C64's capabilities to the Amiga, just the approaches the relevant communities take.


I'm trying to think of a suitable metaphor, but suffice to say, the internet we use today is NOT the same internet that we used back in 1997... Trying to use the Amiga for modern web browsing is akin to trying to get my dad's old Hi-Fi record player to play CDs... I can make it do it, sure, but i need to hook up a CD module to it, and then get that to output to the AUX input of the old amp... the resulting sound is muddy, dull and unacceptable to me...

I think Amigas now need to be used for what they were originally designed. No point trying to push them to do badly, what a modern machine can do well.

Use a Mac then. I can type non-english characters with ease in my case Alt-u followed by either a, o or u to get the German umlaut... Plus OSX has no MBR partition or DOS volume name legacy as found on window.

End of discussion.
