WARNING: Pointless meandering rant follows. It's not aimed at anyone in particular.
It's an imperfect world and all machines have pros and cons, the Amiga included.
What I don't get is the ppl who responded negatively (some with sarcasm) to this thread. I understand that there are real limitations (Look how far we've come, though.) and there are things that can't be done. No one denies the latest web standards get lost in IBrowse, or that Mp3s require more horsepower than was originally supplied, or that no one is porting the latest video codecs. But, it is amazing what has been done! What other 20 year old machines allow ppl to do what we can?
Don't mis-understand, I prefer grounded realism to the notion that if we just go door-to-door, we can convince ppl to buy more Amigas. Grin. This is a special interest site. What is the common thread that ties us together? Rebellion against the tyranny of MS, fantasy, the Video Toaster, an elegant OS, ppl tragically caught in a time-warp? The only place I can share my enthusiasm for this computer is here. The rest of the world has moved on (in my humble opinion, many followed the piper). Anyway, in many threads like this one, there is usually someone who sound angry, negative, defeatist, etc, always quick to point out the much greener pasture on another platform. An interesting question for me is why do those people persist?
