#Amiga in CLM
3 messages in this thread
For those who care in the Computer Language magazine I saw on the shelf the
other day (I dont remember the month) that had the Barbi dolls on the cover
the talk about GUI's. They mention the Amiga (i was shocked!) right on the
cover and a little inside in the article about GUI's. Unfortunatly it wasnt
very flattering to say the least. I believe there is a Computer Language
magazine section here on CIS. Lets ransack the place!! 😎

Well, we already 'attacked' DDJForum so I guess it's CLM next!
CLMFORUM isn't completely Amiga-hostile, though the magazine is. There
was an operating system discussion there recently and the Amiga OS didn't
come out of it too bad. It _was_ agreed that a good OS should have memory
protection, and Ami (among many others) lost fair and square.
Instead of all-out attacking forums, I prefer to leave occasional
(somewhat negative) comments about how IBM crippled the industry when they
introed the AT with MS-DOS 3 instead of OS/2. Or how single-tasking,
One-Meg address spaces, 8 and 16 bit I/O at slow bandwidths, etc. are
severely holding back micros with the exception of Amiga, xinU boxes,
etc…
