Obviously the Mac was about equally capable for basic number crunching, but it really burned him up that we had multi-tasking and my $2200 machine (it was kinda loaded) had as fancy graphics as his $5000 one.Ī-Max, SheepShaver, ShapeShifter, Basilisk II, Fusion and iFusion (the latter ran classic Mac OS by using a PowerPC "coprocessor" accelerator card)Īnd that ifusion was in use Before any apple ithings, if i remember the timeline ,it was also just before apple were near bankruptcy with their PPC offering. I don't recall what it was, some audio player I think. Just to piss him off I fired up 6 copies of the Mac emulator and ran 6 copies of whatever software it was he was running, 6 times, and amusingly it was still faster than his precious Mac IIs.

I recall hauling my brand new Amiga 2000 over to some guy's house who had a whole wall full of like 6 Mac IIs. Where I lived the Mac people were insufferable in the mid-late 80's. You are entitled to your opinion, and I somewhat disagree with it. Agt any rate I then built a 386 PC and moved on to a new platform. It was getting long in the tooth but it wasn't showing it's age too badly even then imo.

I used an Amiga 500 w/ 8meg ram & 52 meg HD & OS 3.1 up until 94' and it was a perfectly fine machine for home use even then. It is? Perhaps your friends where thin skinned is all.

Perhaps you are just overstating how un-influential and unknown it was at the time? History is written by the winners.Ī persecution complex is another well-known side-effect of Amiga ownership.
