Hello All
On 24-Jun-99, Ian Greenway wrote a number of things, which would take too much
space to quote:
I'm inclined to agree with much of what Ian said. The IT department at my
work (Orange) is going over to a remotely supported desktop environment.
Whilst this has its advantages in a centrally managed system, they hae to
cripple Windoze NT to make it work - this is progress? Microsnot's SMS
system needs to do this to work?
I bough a whole new A1200T system, with PPC card and BVision after my last
A1200 died of a dodgy Video chip. I paid for it with the credit card bill
I've got now, but I feel it's worth it, even if only to do my bit to support
the Amiga. I debated buying a PC, but at the end of the day, I would have
spent hours configuring the damn thing. That's not to say it didn't take me
a while to get Netconnect running (anyone remember the MUI files that NC
needs, but aren't in the install?), but I still have more fun and
productivity with my system. I'm all for Active selling to PC users, if it
will help them stay afloat - we all have to earn enough to survive. However,
what I don't want to see is people deciding that the grass is greener on the
PC side, and abandoning the Amiga altogether. Too many people have already
gone down this path for the Amiga market to take any more. All I ask is that
if Active produce PC products, they use the knowledge they gain from this to
produce some kick-ass Amiga products.
BTW Ian, I too laughed at the younger students at Uni queuing for ages to get
on the PC's to read their mail when there was a whole room full of powerful
SPARC machines running Unix, they were just too scared of the unknown
quantity to use them. Lets hope the NG Amiga doesn't also have the same
problem of people being scared to adopt it.
Regards
