MIPS for next Amiga

[johnklos]

I have to admit that I have always found MIPS interesting.
But with shipping this is $75.
I just received two 2GB quad core 1.8 GHz A17 based set top boxes that ran about $80 each.
And running Android, these are more practical for the every day uses I have for them.

Android - when you care enough to run a crappy, non-portable "run anywhere" branded language / environment which tries to support as many viruses and Trojans as Windows...

Interesting opinion, but Android has always worked well for me.
"branded language / environment" ?
I'm pretty sure the term is still "OS" (short for Operating System).

The Java-like environment negates many of the possible advantages of running on a GNU/Linux OS. It's the worst of both worlds.

And..."tries to support as many viruses and Trojans as Windows".
Those require support?
I always thought their presence was a good indicator of the size of the user base of an OS and its general popularity.

That's a myth. There's a reason there are no active, actual viruses for BSD (Mac OS X included) or GNU/Linux. Sure, there are plenty of Trojans, but Trojans and viruses are not the same things.
