There's a new executive update available at Amiga. Bill McEwen says Contrary to the rumors and what many people are saying about our demise, or that we are going to have the same fate of the others before us, we have a big surprise for all of them, and promises that all will be known in six weeks at the St. Louis show.

| Executive Update - St. Louis and Beyond : Comment 26 of 34 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Anonymous on 08-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (Tron Man!!!):
I read your post and guess what? Ummmm...I don't think you did
very much reading! Alternative platforms are a great thing to
the Win/Tel stranglehold, however as I orginally stated this
is not what made the Mac popular with the average users, and
it is not going to be accepted by the majority of Mac users
as most do not have the knowledge to run a bloated version
of basterdized UNIX like this! Period...
That was the whole point!
I suggest that you spend more time scouring the fourms. I think
you've been reading the wrong pages and a few recent comments.
Perhaps you better take a gander at this link:
http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=722
Here you will find numerous accounts of how miserably slow
it is even on the most powerful machines, etc.
It starts with this post, which I've included part of here:
Hello,
Actually I am glad that people are discussing this, but it raises a
HUGE issue with me.... First of all, I'm a UNIX systems integrator,
but I love the Macintosh interface....
It troubles me *tremendously* that Macintosh users are going to have to
contend with the UNIX shells, etc just to get something done.. This is
simply not what the Macintosh should be about....
I think that Pandoras Box has been opened here and loyal Macintosh users
are going to be fed up with this very quickly....
I've not seen one post yet siting the ease-of-use of OS-X, which is indeed
what the mac is suppose to be about.. Instead there are posts of stuff like:
"login as root"
"cd to /"
"chown on this"
etc...
As much as I love UNIX, I never wanted to see it on a Macintosh and this
really *really* is a shame for all Macintosh users..
<much more interesting stuff cut for brevity. However, I think you get the
picture! Again, this is NOTHING like the MacOS that people have been using
for years, and with a certain few "geeks" who will use this bloated monster,
again I state that Mac users will be bailing out in droves!>
Sincerely,
Greg Saylor
