Well, I'm impressed! Which Amiga? 4? kewl. Amiga can still do stuff
a Mac or doze machine can't. How about a 1024x768 window _inside_ an
800x600 svga screen? Let's see you do that on your p4! I'm not an
amiga jockey, but gotta respect them. :)
Although windoz hasn't been limited to 8.3 for a long time...too bad
amiga's age is showing, you could run linux (i think) or NetBSD (i
know) for Amiga and run a win9x emulator inside it for a canned recipe
database...but it'd be slow.
I'm going Mac--the new OS X is partially made up of FreeBSD unix--I can
now have M$ Office/Outlook with Internet Explorer running on unix! Bet
MS didn't expect that!
Hot regards,
Riley, an aspiring cook! :)
