Most of my PeeCee buds tell me that OS/2 is not neat, or clean, and while
it's "windows" version is nice, it suffers many more trips to the "Intel
Guru" than what an Amy does.
And 16 meg (NT) to accomplish what my Amiga does in 512k does not
constitute "clean" to me. I realize there are differences to justify a
size difference between the OS's, but not 15.5 megs worth of it. Whatever
happened to "efficient code", rather than "Oh, if you use a DX/2 66 you'll
never notice I wrote it cludgy, crappy, and bulky!"
<Sigh>
On a side, should someone pick up the technology, this could feasibly be a
second chance for the system. An Intel/PowerPC split it likely, and the
window for a third party to jump in and grab marketshares does exist.
With the Amiga already winning Emmy's and producing graphics for
prime-time, it stand to pull out… if someone with brains picks it up.
I just hope this week holds good news…
Chris – Fast and Low on my '020!
Is it significant that my spell checker doesn't know "Quit"?
