Re: Amiga vs PC

Pc's on the whole bore me... Unless its a very customized pc running linux, or aros then thats a whole different animal.
 
OR unless its a customized pc using windows in the background but booting to amiga os3.x (replace windows shell with os3.x and never
know windows is even involved)
 
Windows pcs on the whole do seem so generic and soul less. I love amigas, I just use the pc and don't care much how it looks or care
to customize the interface/gui. They are so cheap now I don't even care to upgrade or enhance the windows boxes I have, I just keep track of my files in backup and buy a new one every so often. It is just like an appliance, a throw away and replace appliance at that.
 
On the other hand...
I've spent tons of time customizing my linux box though. Sometimes I think that a great linux pc gives me the same feeling amiga gave me back in the day. I am in control of everything, its fast, its reliable and it works how I want it to. I am also often tinkering with adding more drives or other hardware upgrades, quite like I did with my amiga's back in the day.
 
Hopefully, linux will get some more powerful audio and video apps, (or run winxp running windows audio/video apps in a window better) then I can never use windows again.
