So you mean you're all excited about an OS which so far runs a  chat client, an email program, an MP3 player, a DVD player and a dated browser? I can't make out what that last program was---some sort of 'windowed' Workbench. I am so impressed that I am going to ditch my PC right away and buy an A1 with AOS 4.

I thought this was a forum dedicated to users who like Amigas, I guess I was wrong.

Oh, I like Amigas alright. I liked my 500 and 4000 a great deal, in fact. Nowadays, I like them in perspective. The OS is nice and simple and provides a good illustration of many modern multitasking features. When I'm battling with tricky features in Linux I usually look up how it's done on the Amiga first. Of course the two systems are not really comparable, but I find learning by analogy works very well in this case.

Modern Amigas are a waste of time, effort and money, in my book. It's all in the software these days, and what has been done on the Amiga can easily be duplicated on different platforms. In fact, the Amiga is now duplicating what other people have done on other platforms. I cannot be impressed by such activities, really.
