What can a CURRENT amiga do better than a PC these days thats actually usefull?



Two things spring to mind:

1) Fulfill my personal requirement to have a system thats enjoyable to use. That might not be useful to you, but frankly I couldn't care a badgers' tadger - it's useful to me and since your question is subjective depending on viewpoint, that matters.

I suppose.  Any zealot can say that

2) Operate safely online without multiple layers of firewall and antivirus software etc. Being a minority platform has the advantage of staying under the radar of the majority of virus programmers / hackers.

Get a decent firewall and a decent virus checker and dont be an idiot.  I have never (fingers crossed) been infected with a virus.

Can you suggest what a CURRENT PC can do better than the machine it replaced a few months ago, other than comforting  the insecure owner about the size of his genitals?

Oh the classic insult when the person has ran out of wit.  Suggest the other person has a small penis.  In fact every time someone suggests that it is allways because someone has a bigger yaucht/faster car/bigger house and the accuser is merely jealous.  How original.  I remember when some tree hugging hippy was starting a debate with Jeremy Clarkson about his taking a 4x4 to some scottish montain.  He must have been thinking that gem up for ages.  He started with "just because you have a small penis doesn't mean you have to go wrecking the countryside" or something like that.
Why oh why would someone with a small penis get a PC to comfort his insecurity?

The fact that you dish out pathetic insults when someone suggests your "beloved" computer is anything less than the best at everything implies a less than healthy relationship with your computer.
In fact you made several references to genitals there and a "minority platform" as well as accusing someone that doesn't think much of Amigas anymore of having a small penis suggests you have a deep rooted insecurity yourself.
Now the insults can keep flinging back and forth but lets face it its not constructive is it?

I have still yet to see something usefull than an amiga can do that a PC cant.  However I can think of many, many things a PC can do that an Amiga cant.
This is to be expected.  The Amiga has had no proper development since 94 and has only had half arsed development as a platform between then and 2000.  Since 2000 it has merely being ameteurs (not an insult - an observation) with the misguided belief that the Amiga is somehow better than everything else even now.
Good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement.

With respect, this thread has gone so far astray that it bears locking.  If you wish to continue the various conversations, please open new -- and related -- threads...
