been 2 days of fiddeling with WinUae to get myself some idea of what
amiga could do at the time
it's really a bad system, maybe it was pioneer at the time, with
workbench and all that I made a lot of games running with WhdLoad,
most games could not be run from floppy
but let's face it...you did not have an amiga but a pc ? well good
for you most of amiga games were available on better systems, with
better resolutions amiga is a lame piece of shit
maybe back in the day it was something, but now it's gone, and it's a
good thing FUCK amiga, that thing is horseshit, I just wasted 2 days
of my life for nothing

: PCs are *not* cheap. They need a lot of extra hardware to get them running : minimally. One will have to buy those "required" updates all the time. And : all the software costs more than for the Amiga ($1000...$100000 vs.

Not true. When my darling's '286 became unreliable (and unrepairable)(and unupgradable) we shelved it (the garbage men refused to take it) and I
did some serious shopping for a replacement. Picked up a '486SX and a new monitor (old one not compatible) for around $1,000! Does a fine job
running WordStar for DOS (primary function). Yeah, so I commented out the line to load Windows - she hates GUI anyway. True, it can't do lots of
things that my A3000 can, but she doesn't care. It does everything she
wants to do. Now, if she wanted sound, or SCSI, or video, or ... just
about anything, she would have to pay extra. She doesn't want tha stuff.
She is a dedicated playwright and that box is her typewriter with a
memory. Even TALKING about multitasking confuses her.

Hi Curtis,
The Amiga is an old computer platform and much more simpler compared
modern PCs. Amiga users spent many years adding and enhancing their
systems to keep up with advancements. Because the stock Amiga hardware
did not advance much beyond the original chip set games did lag
behind what was available for PCs by the mid 1990s.
The Amiga community will continue supporting the users from the
Commodore years who are already aware of the platforms limitations and
help newcomers who are interested in our little corner of computer
history.
Sorry that your experience was not what you hoped.
Best wishes
Pierre

I wanted to thank all you commode door supporters for sending me
10,000 pieces of email. I never thought you guys would band together
like a pack of bee's defending the nest. I never thought owing an Amiga
was such a sore spot for all you guys. Well, I guess it would be for me
too if I went out and spent thousands of dollars on a piece of crap that >became outdated in a few months. I understand. I feel your pain.
Perhaps next time you guys go to buy a computer, you MIGHT want to buy
one that has been in business over 2 weeks. I recommend a Radio Shack >special, or better yet, I think you still have time to buy a TI-994a.
Or what you could do to save yourself some time...Just go into a
computer store and bend over. HA!
good the first time, he tries it again. Well, I won't make this guy happy by letting him aggrivate me.
