Amiga & AROS The Amiga. A platform with a history. Today, we are reviewing Amiga Forever, which was kindly provided by Cloanto, its manufacturer. The question I tried to answer during the usage of Amiga Forever was: does it have anything to offer to OS enthousiasts today? Of course Amiga Forever offers great functionality for Amiga fans, but what about the rest of us? Can Amiga Forever cater to more people than just Amiga fans?

Member since:

They run and mangle OS News, thus they are obviously more qualified than any readers, regardless of the evidence that at least some of them weren't even in diapers before mice on commonly available microcomputers were around.

Heaven forbid they would do an article on an Apple 2c emulator, or an (GASP!) Apple 3, which didn't come with a mouse, and there's absolutely *no* menu to display on the screen by default, and no online help command at all!

Never mind the reality that Apple 3 SOS (poorly chosen acronym, considering the commercial flop of the Apple 3, though "Sophisticated Operating System" was accurate enough) was far more powerful than PC/MS-DOS ever really became, in many ways, even back in 1981. Ah, those were the good old days: when a 5 MB hard drive was a lot of storage space! But, any Apple 2 or 3 was clearly flawed by their reasoning, based on their great depth and wealth of experience, based on their above arguments, because they didn't do things like every other system ;)
