It stood at the very pinnacle of graphics display. Remember when you first popped in DeluxePaint and saw all those wonderful images for the first time. Breathtaking weren't they? Compared to other computers, it was like looking across the vistas of the Grand Canyon. Times have changed. The Amiga is lagging behind. Time to catch up and again be the benchmark of what good graphics are. Hopefully, the future will bring dramatic improvements in Amiga graphics capabilities. The gap is not large. It is never too late to gather momentum catapulting the Amiga to once more being the graphics computer of choice. But graphics aren't everything. Right? I'm told the next Microsoft Windows release will require 300MB of drive space and 32MB of memory. That amount of drive space/memory for just an operating system boggles my mind. Why? Why so much for so little. If this information is correct, Windows will be a behemoth facing an ant. The Amiga operating system is microscopic in comparison. How can the Amiga get so much out of so little, and Windows require so much to get so little? Maybe because Windows is not a fully integrated operating system, but a crazy quilt of patches with more patches on top of other patches. If size alone mattered (including Windows95), then Windows would be the easy victor. But size is irrelevant. Size alone determines nothing. Only content matters. And for its miniscule size, the Amiga operating system has plenty of content. Why did Gateway buy the Amiga? Maybe for the Amiga operating system. My picture illustrates that the Amiga better get snapping, cracking, popping, or whatever it takes to really get moving. Maybe one day soon, people will say, "For snap, crackle and pop, buy an Amiga. The best computer around, bar none." Isn't this the early dawn of a great new age, or what? Picture by Jake.
