Yet another thing the Amiga can do that Windoze can't.....
« on: March 28, 2007, 11:38:04 AM »
Its not like we need an even bigger list in this department, but it is nonetheless amazing given the Amiga's handicap of being developed 20 freaking years ago how many things the Amiga still does better than so-called "modern" OSs.  

Try this on a pee-see; XP gave me an error then proceeded to do exactly the opposite of what should have happened; logically, anyway.    
At the same time, delete all the files in a large scratch directory then uncrunch a large number of archive files to that same directory.  


I tried the same thing on my A4000T and it worked flawlessly and effortlessly.  It deleted all the files I told it to delete and it unarchived all the files I told it to unarchive, at the same time, to the same directory, without any overlap, prompts, messages, popups, nags, errors or complaints.

Anyway whenever i use any ms products they feel me that this is ms property not mine


Thats a good point. I never really thought of the "'My' Computer" icon as irony, but you're right.  "Ownership" definately is a theme (if a subtle one) of the whole Windows experience.  Unfortunately the message is that "{v) to own" is the providence of Microsoft, while "(adj) to be owned" is the destiny of all other matter in the universe.  Using Windows everyday is akin to being handcuffed and forced to listen to the same insulting, condescending lecture over, and over, and over, and over, and over again...
