I agree.

My joke is getting a lot of work done. The new LightWave will be released
for my joke. The old LW is amazing and only available for this joke.
There are now three random access editing systems available
for my joke. There is a cool new landscape program, WCS, available only
for this joke system. There is a joke-clone coming out, 060 based, from
MacroSystems Germany. My joke will network with other platforms to
leverage lightwave rendering. My joke will run the just released version
of ImageFX (v2) for an amazing amount of image processing power. My
joke is still the only platform that works with the Toaster. Alpha paint
is only available for the Toaster running on my joke. ProVector 3 is
just about to be released and only runs on this joke system. I can do
incredible SMPTE synchronized soundtracks on my joke using Studio 16
and Bars & Pipes Pro, both of whom released new versions last year.
My joke runs my whole business using my own CanDo software
(new version just out although that company is now on ice) which
I can customize as need be. ARexx ties many things together.
Things have not stopped working. Most things are working better
than ever.
As I see it, the support for this joke system is finally maturing. I'm
not going to cry about the obvious stupidity of Commodope or
the current lack of new Amigas while the old ones are still such
a valuable tool. I'm too busy getting things done with this cool
device that's still getting extensive support by excellent developers.
Yes I'm considering other systems. Because my joke is such a
dependable platform, I can wait for those other systems to mature.
There are a lot of growing pains going on on other platforms.
When LW Alpha comes out, my joke may have a partner. But not
a replacement. I will probably buy another joke first, though.
Anyone who wants to dump an Amiga 3000, 3000T or 4000
please send me email.
Now smile, life is still good. Could be worse, could be raining...
Regards,
-Jamie :^)
PS. sorry for the digression. Long day. Hope this brightened yours...
