My new Distraction

[4pLaY]

Hey

Glad you found a new "home" :-).

However, im always stunned to see and hear about people falling in love with the OSX and telling me its theyr first love/fondness of an OS since Amiga and how this must be where Amiga would be today etc etc.

For me that could not be further from the truth personaly, ive used it mostly at work myself and i even dragged home from my old workplace an old G5 PowerMac that had been retierd and sometimes use it for photoshop, anyways, to the point, i cant stand the OS, id rather use anything else, even Win95 i suspect, what, besides all the eye candy is it seriously you find so attractive?

Hi,

I can honestly say that not since the Amiga have I been so happy with a pc , maybe it's just because I've never used an Apple before so it's just the newness of it all but I love the operating system!
I've been bitching for years about how long my Windows Dell laptop or my home made Windows PC takes to boot up but -aside from my amigas- I have now found boot up bliss... in a matter of seconds I'm staring at my desktop... and shutting down actually works.. first go!
 
 
I'm just left wondering what could have been if Amiga had not gone the way it did... I think it would be very similar now to my Macbook!
 
...Let the trolling begin :laughing:

Gone kind of the same route myself.

It might "feel" more polished but in my experience its nothing special compared to latest Win7 or Ubuntu wich i use both 50/50 of my time these days.

As for working as i want it to, not at all, i feel trapted, Apple has full control over me and i cant stand that. And i dont understand how it can be this stable for you guy(s), it used to crash on me and my colleague from time to time at work (more often so for him) it should be noted that it was not the latest OS/X version so comparing it to Win7 or latest Ubuntu would be wrong.

I guess its a matter of taste, a local ex Amiga friend of mine have also gotten bit by the OSX/Apple bug and is now a fanatical user of it and all he does is use Apple software/hardware down to his phone and keep telling me how great it all is .

I've reached a point in life where eye candy don't do it for me, but I must admit I love the case design, only thing I would add would be a numpad !

It's difficult to put my finger on it, I jumped ship to IBM clones after having been a loyal C= user from the Vic 20 days just in time to experience Windows 3.11 and then through all it's iterations, 95, 2000, XP, etc.

 The Mac Os truly does feel more "polished" (as coldfish said) and everything just works not like I expect it to... But like I want it to... Seriously subjective but there you go:)

Realistically, I'm probably just enjoying the wonderful feeling of learning something new ....

I really do not see how OSX resembles AmigaOS in any way, the two systems are about as different as you can come.

Totaly agreeing with you there :-).
