The Amiga would be no competition.  The large sizes of Windows apps are due
to their larger capabilities.  Hell, I suppose you think the C64 word
processors were superior to them all, since they ran in 64KB.

FrameMaker isn't available for Linux, and no, it wouldn't run in 2MB.  On
*any* platform.

How do you know?  Have you launched an application like FrameMaker on it?
Again, on a C64 you can WORK in 64K.  Does that make it a superior machine?

Get used to the fact that other people *do* need them.
