No, neither does my Amiga's. What's your point. My CD player isn't that
recent, but it still gives better output than a wind up gramaphone
playing 78s.

It's doing things it was never designed for, which is a tribute to the
ingenuity of some of the programmers out there.

But that's exactly what you were trying to do. This isn't the place for
that, try comp.sys.amiga.advocacy.

Don't get me wrong. I don't like using my PC. 95% of the time it sits in
the corner acting as a server. I much prefer to use the Amiga for
anything interactive.
