Atari has problems, and I accept that the OS of the future is Unix with
a graphic interface, and not the Mac OS, the Amiga OS, the ST OS, or
(thank god for her good grace) MeSsyDOS or OS/2.
Some of the people on this net seem concerned that other people have
computers with more impressive numbers than the ST. Oh oh. It's just
like the "My car/bank account/penis is bigger than yours" syndrome so
common in a certain country famous for its big cars.
Face it, TOS is not going to become anything else. Like the Mac, Amy,
and Pretty Cruddy clones, it is bound by a large software base which
expects a fairly simple type of operation. If you want more than TOS,
buy more than TOS.
But do not leave us in suspense. Come back to the newsgroup some day
and tell us how many Mhz/MIPS LONG your new computer is. I promise that
we will all feel emasticated/emammicated (after all, women are self-
concious about breast size too).
