Windows is a very big pig. We got the win95 preview today, and it does look alot better (oh well). It's starting to get harder to defend the Amiga position all of the time. Windows 95 has alot of hype associated with it, including the no more DOS thing. But it is all a lie. You still have a version of MSDOS installed on your computer for compatibility with device drivers that don't exist in 32 bit form. Just makes you wish that it had all gone very differently. As an aside, there are no decent PowerPC operating systems either. MacOS is not pre-emptive and the next version (according to a book I read in a shop, good shop that was) won't have full memory protection Only MacOS will be protected (like kickstart being in ROM I suppose 🙂 ). Processor rating 1) PowerPC 2) 68000 3) 6502 4) 8086 I do not like PC's never have never will but they do the job (sometimes). I just wish that all PC owners would shut up. They swagger about as if they own the place. It's as if SCSI/IDE/RS232/centronics devices were invented only for them (oh add PCMCIA as well). I just wish I could get an 040 or 060 for my Amiga1200, I will have to make do with a 030/50 I suppose. Phill
