"Quite why C= act the way they do is beyond me also and someone should
be doing things better if it wants to keep its customers."
Maybe they don't like their customers? <G>
Please bear in mind that I am not saying one platform or operating
system is better than another. There are days when I curse all of
them equally.
It's just that the Amiga seems to have more quirks than others –
its incompatibility with 99.999% of all IDE drives being a rather
significant one. (I say 99.999% because I was told that only 4
drives are "recommended" by Commodore. That leaves out a kind of huge
number.)
Coupled with Commodore's almost complete lack of technical support
leaves me with a pretty poor impression of the Amiga.
My comparison to PC's was limited specifcally to installing IDE
drives. It's a pretty basic operation that doesn't cause problems
under most circumstances. Installing other components, of course,
can be a major hassle.
