Amiga wants you! : Comment 115 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Lando on 16-Jul-2003 12:57 GMT | In reply to Comment 102 (Anonymous): >And it runs MorphOS and AmigaOS programs. Good. You're as much of an Amiga
>user as I am who runs WindowsXP and AmigaOS via Amiga Forever.
Well, that depends on your definition of "Amiga User".
If anything, you can run a lot more Amiga programs than me since UAE emulates the custom chipset whereas MorphOS doesn't. But then, neither will OS4, so maybe you'll be more of an "Amiga User" than people with an A1+OS4 too (or an A1+Linux, as it stands at the moment)?
But, I can also run Amiga PPC applications and you can't. Who's to say what the term "Amiga User" means these days. If you run Linux APUS on a classic Amiga with PowerUP card, are you an Amiga user, or a Linux user? You're not running AmigaOS. What if you're running Unix on an A3000UX? What if you're running OS3.x on a Draco with no custom chips? Then there's the emulators like UAE and Amithlon.
I'm a MorphOS user. I also happen to run the same Amiga programs I ran on my old A4000/CSPPC (only 10+ times faster). I also have two Macs and run MaxUAE on them under OSX. Label me whatever you want...
If someone playing Planet Zed on AmigaDE Player on WinXP is an Amiga User then the term really is meaningless. It's just a name to put on a box... |
