>>That's why I always pleaded to have at least five competitive platforms that are pretty much the same, yet different enough to co-exist. That way there would at least be a possibility for evolution. The way I feel it is that the Amiga dated 1985 has been the last significant step in the evolution of microcomputing until now. I always hear about the revolution here, the revolution there, but… I never saw them.<< –> Agreed 100% >>That's why I prefer the Amiga: very good multi-tasking and as a bonus 262144 colors at the same time (I know, I am a fool, my peecees have a tremendous 256 colors) *if* I really want to do something graphical and I have some good sounds from it whereas my peecees say “bleep'' “quirk''.<< –> Are you using 1992 "peecees"? This 100Mhz Pentium here has 16M colors in 1024 x 768, and the Ensoniq 16 bit wavetable board inside it cetainly beats the 4 voice 8 bit of the Amiga (although its the best 8 bit I've heard!). I had to do a little TWAIN 24 bit scanning and photo-retouching with PhotoShop this weekend. Certainly a little graphical, I think. The area in which the PC really sucks is with the stupid resource stack limitations. I've got a 32 MB RAM monster here, but I don't run SideKick for Windows in the background because I'll run out of "resources" real fast. It's really aggravating to have to reboot WIN 5 times a day to recycle it…
