Hehe! My girlfriend said she's making a banana loaf at the weekend (we have loads of frozen bananas in the freezer) so any tips on making it a PC-beater?!

Sure - after mashing the bananas, throw in some graphics chips, CPU, lots of RAM, a harddrive, a USB port - and this is important: MIX WELL. Then bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Cooking time may vary, so test with an oscillator. Let cool, then connect to monitor and voila.

Actually, there's no need for tips - banana loaf is already a PC-beater even without modifications. :-D

As much as I like bananas, you have to be realistic and realize that there's no useful software available for it. It's fun to tinker with, but that's about it... ;-) ;-) ;-)

No software? Rubbish!  :-)

There's some accounting software at least, but you might have some issues with device driver installation...

Because, unlike potatos, bananas don't have batteries :-)

You're overreacting a bit. This thread so far is just a calm, logical discussion. I don't see anybody trying to convince others to use this or that computer. They ARE just stating their personal preferences.

um, actually on second thoughts, it was a little bit of an overreaction. :-) I just "sensed" some Amiga-bashing on the horizon but i think i was wrong...

Guess I've been infected with Bush's "premptive strike" philosophy...darn!

I agree with HellCoder,

I like my AMIGA because it works. Simple.  Elegant.  
6 years ago I moved over to a Dell PC PIII & now an iMac 20” Intel in Feb. 2006 still I long for a new AMIGA in the future.  I’d go back and buy AMIGA in a heart beat cause that’s where my heart is!

Hehe, my missus is making one too :lol:

Ever tried to eat a frozen banana? Kind like eating Banana ice-cream :yum:

@x56h34:

There is absolutely nothing groundbreaking that old or new Amiga(s) can offer anymore. There's only the fun in tinkering around with your toys. For anything serious, you really need a serious OS/machine.

That didn't kept PC and namely M$ OSes from being the dominant technology

@adz: seeing as broccoli is the Amiga's official vegetable, perhaps banana should be the official Amiga fruit?  :-)

I've not tried frozen banana - ours are really frozen solid and I think I'd break my teeth!!!

You also should note that the Amiga outsold the PC two to one in the late 80's in the UK next only to the Macintosh. It was only when the PII was introduced with windowz 95 that the PC really took off.(in the North Amarican market it just never got a real good hold but still did well in 3rd place)
The Amiga community has always held on to it because it was and still is a great user friendly system to use and quit easy to understand how to operate. I still love with OS 3.5/3.9 how small the footprint is and what it can do.
