You know nothing ever changes... From the first day I ran more than four pages of animation in DPaint and realised I needed a more RAM, to playing SIMCity 2000 and realising I needed a faster processor to running Photoshop and buying a P120, to faster internet access and Win98 to today there will always be a need to upgrade. I seem always to be chasing the new thing to optimise something that worked perfectly well with my old system. Or so it appears. We are all trapped in the creators net of upgrade and be saved.... or stand still and stagnate. Nothing changes. To be honest my Amiga 1200 opens folders and applications ten times as fast as this XP machine. The A1200 can perform all basic operations faster than this XP machine. Trouble is the A1200 will not permit me and 25 other guys to take on the Lich King in Northrend. WoW is a masterpiece and I need a machine of today to play. Just like we all need the next best thing at some time. I hate MS with a vengence, and I dislike the way Mac looks and runs. I have always struggled with Linux and can`t be bothered with it to be honest. Security is totally an issue with the user and you can avoid problems. And so Windows I guess for ease of use, simplicity of utilising all my software, and ability without a blink of an eye to set up the torrent for WoW is my only valid choice. I play on my PS3, heck I even have an XBOX Elite ... and all the time I customise my activities so I get the best out of my computing. Nothing changes. And so with Star Trek Online I need a new machine.... It will be a 64 Bit Windows based machine. I can see no reason to change. I don`t like it but it really is as someone else pointed out a means to an end. One day there will be greater and better system, a more friendly interface, a more responsive OS... Today is where I live and so I use the tool I know best.... And when I am up for driving in the slow lane just for the joy of real computing I switch on my Amigas. All the time cus I love computers. Always will.
