Who knows what lurks within a windows FIB ???
Actually, it is not important to know this – but I am sure the Amiga opens some
other interesting files besides the windows and devices. It would be nice to be
able to peruse thier vital info – some devilish hacking could be done, for fun
and profit.
Alas, the OS befines the length and breadth of the Amiga universe. I just don't
have the time to take it all apart like I did my C64 and IBM. I just get the
strange feeling that this machine is trying to make life difficult for me –
sort of a 'do it my way or I'll make you suffer' impression. I know that the
people at Commodore & MetaComCo thought they had the perfect user interface,
and the perfect OS – but perfection is relative and thier product seems to be
the software manifestation of the closed Mac idea.
All in all, my greatest complaint is lack of time to work with it until I make
it do things MY way – but unemployment is the only solution to that !
