I'm with Motrucker. The only thing a newer windoze machine has on a nice Amiga system is better graphics acceleration (which is only really useful for playing games and watching smut), and more software to choose from. The Amiga is still, in spite of its age, my computer of choice for productivity. Windows really isn't even close. Working on the Amiga; the system itself has a "transparent", almost invisible feel to it. If thats the right word? The system is unobtrusive, and it lets me focus 100% on my work. Its silent, obedient, and light as a feather. I know I will not have my concentration broken and rudely (and immediately) diverted to some other "essential" task such responding to a yes/no question about whether I would like to "clean up my mailbox now[/b]". And then more lengthy messages (narratives, morelike) about whether I know the consequences of selecting "yes" or "no". And then, "Are you sure you do (or do not) want to do this? YES! Are you really, really sure[/i]?? "Yes!!!" And on and on...
Honestly, I can get work done on my miggy power tower at around twice the rate it takes me on a Windoze box: whether it be C code, thermal barcode printing, desktop publishing for my wife, a writing project, or designing a new loft with AmiCAD. I just like it because the system is so well behaved. Why are OS designers these days incapable of learning this lesson? Sometimes less really is more.
