I've worked on a few machines in my (admittedly relatively) short lifetime. Classic Amiga kept me more productive than anything else for many, many years. I think PC's were starting to overcome what I needed about the time my Amiga 500 died. That was 3 years ago.
Agreed: I didn't need much. I taught high school and did most of my work on the Amiga (typing tests, writing programs, averaging, etc.). I browsed the web using a slow-as-molasses modem (all I could afford), used email, argued vitriol on newsgroups... and I got to have fun doing it, too.
I need an iBook or a PC to get my work done now (certain programs I need only work on those platforms). It works very, very well.
But there's no *real* reason it won't work on an Amiga, except the neglect of developers. There was even a version of Maple for the Amiga -- once -- and that's the big one that made me sell out. |
