Who in their right mind would want Minix on the Amiga anyway!`
If I remember correctly, this is an Amiga section and thus, everyone probably has
an Amiga.

Now remember, the Amiga is a multitasking, windowing environment that's
usually friendly and EASY to use.

Unix is a monstrous Goliath... And it don't have windows. If you want Minix,
you can get an IBM clone. I think I've read enough stuff about Minix and
Unix to last me a lifetime.


OUt of curiousity, how many of you brain damaged puppies out there use some
incarnation of VI on your Amiga? Get a life! Haven't any of you heard of
windows? Try Texed. You can spawn new Texed windows at will, and cut and paste
from any Texted. It's easy to use, intuitive, doesn't take any more than 2 hours
to master. Anyone who uses vi on the amiga is going to Unix hell after they die.
Satan will personally tie you up to an ancient vt52 terminal hooked up to
a pdp11 with a load average of 60 and force you to work on vi for hours on end.
