Hi skurk,

My anti-micro crap and anti-windross venom is 100 times worse in person, seriously! I despise and loathe them.

What really gets me, is that they've earned billions and billions and billions of $$dollar$$$, have even said they've spent 1 billion dollars+ studying how to make person to computer interfaces/display layout work better (when they could have bought and used such a WONDERFUL OS as AOS for pennies on that amount), for such a detestable, useless, annoying, wretched, slow, bloated, inefficient, unreliable, putrid, incompetent, piece of crud!!!!

The xp UI is pure GARBAGE!!!!!!!

Hi Lorraine,

Well, read MooBunny. They just won't quit. People like TakeMeHomeGrandma just won't quit bashing (he calls it bringing attention to "a better way").

They just go on and on and on......

Don't really know why, but I question their sanity.

At least, TMHG has been a teensy bit more constructive in the last 2 years, I'd say, however it's USUALLY, "buy a Peg/Effika, forgret AOS4.x".

Hi  amigaksi,

I agree 100%!!!

So much of those UNKNOWN ACTIONS interfere with making a predictable outcome.

That is what made Amiga so AWESOME. It was an ultimately flexible/hackable system, and yet it was just like a console because what was done on one, would happen on every other model.

So, you write an assembler groovy hack, and it worked on all the other machines (A1000, A2000, A500, A600, A3000 and the CDTV), while the A1200, A4000, and CD32 weren't 100% backwards compatible. A disaster! (Even that contributed to the breakdown of Amiga market share.)


What will bring everything all back to where it should be is the NatAmi!!!!

Full OCS/ECS/AGA compatibility. AWESOME!

For example, it'll be like having what is essentially the power of a Playstation 2 (with much more RAM!!!!), but it is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT hackable!!!!!!

NOTHING beats that!

Hi Lorraine,

Why are there so many camps?

AOS1.0 to 3.9
AmigaForever-UAE
AOS4.x
AROS
Amithlon
AmigaXL
MorphOS
Anubis
(did I miss any?)

Simple, actually. Everyone thought they were doing the right thing.


AROS's problem is, every program has to be recompiled.... who is going to do that, and WHERE are the source code for most of the Amiga SW available? Too difficult.

MorphOS. Not based from the original source code.

Amithlon. Does'nt run software that uses the custom chipsets, ist that like more than 75% of the SW that's available for AOS? Probably doesn't run purely assembler written programs.

AmigaXL. Don't know anything about it.

Amiga Forever, to this day, it's MOSTLY compatible. Not enough at all in the AGA realm.

Anubis. Well, it's not Amiga, but something similar. We lose all old SW. Who is going to recreate AMOSProfessional? And a billion other programs?

Only AmigaOS4.x is the continuation of AOS1-3.9, as the original source code was looked at and everything that Amiga was attempting to do oh so many years ago is reimplemented and/or improved.
