By whom and for what?
I have to use NT in the classroom; I see no need to to use it here for
real work. I wouldn't trust it with my data.
A strange incident: among the NT machines, Indies, etc there is one old
68020-based A2000. One of the students needs to make a quick simple
animation. I said, "You could knock up something quickly on the Amiga
and transfer it across". When I booted up this 14MHz machine he was
amazed at how fast and responsive it was compared to the NT computers.
The speed at which it started up and the speed of opening of windows etc
particularly impressed him.
By using animpainting, I could do a bouncing ball in a couple of
minutes.
Certainly I would like an Amiga browser with PostScript printing, but
it's not worth putting up with NT to get this feature.
