Hehe!  :lol:  :-D

wow, that sucked ...

Shockwave flash? Hardly something every Amiga owner is going to be
able to view...

Anyway, to make this thread more interesting why don't we list the
cool stuff us Amiga owners can use on Shapeshifter/Fusion?

After all, Amigas can run Macintosh 68k software at almost 1:1
emulation ration so why has there been no mention of an Amiga running
Quark Express?

Also, anyone tried the Halo prequel `Marathon' on Amiga Shapeshifter?
What about Macintosh 68k Netscape/IE? Surely IE 3 is better than
Voyager/AWeb/Ibrowse

A pile of bollocks if you ask me.
If he was talking about Win XP, fair enough.
But Macs? Heaps more reliable, to slag off one is just stupid   :pissed:

Seriously though, every computer crashes once in a while. If you invented a 100% stable desktop computer with a 100% stable OS that ran 100% of many thousand useful applications in a 100% stable fashion then you would be a multi-billionaire :-D

Edit/

Bill gates has already proved me wrong so don't bother :crazy:

[HopperJF]

Yes, because Windows is much more stable than MacOS  :lol:

[GadgetMaster]

No because he proved you can produce buggy software and still become a multi-billionaire  What the..! :huh:

:-P

[HopperJF]

So basically all we need for Hyperion, KMOS and Eyetech to become rich and have money to adopt new products, is bugs!!  :lol:

[GadgetMaster]

Naah! Nobody does the monopoly thang like good ol' Billy G. :inquisitive:  :lol:  :-D

I agree, it might have made sense if he was talking about Mac OS 9 and previous which did have a reputation for instability.

But OS X, I think not.  I'm wondering if the guy had ever even used OS X!

Well the footage shows him smashing up an old 99/00/01 iMac.
So probably before OS X.
But to be honest, most of the things he raved about fitted in with Windows quite nicely.

Odd. Maybe he was being sarcastic..

I dont really hate macs, I think they have a really beautiful OS and it seems to work well but the machine treats you like an idiot and the price is way to much! If steve Jobs quit lying about it being the fastest pc made I might take it more seriously. The users can pisss me off but thats a personal thing. Yes they are nice, yes if they were cheaper I might buy one, NO they are not the fastest or worlds first 64 bit computer. If you ask me the Emac is the best mac made its affordable and easy on the eyes to bad mac geeks seem to hover around the g5 machines which are mostly flash and little value for the money. If Apple doesnt do something soon they wont have to many people besides printers and hollywood freaks using their stuff.

The entry level eMac is now only £467.
Go get a Mac ;-)
