# You are such a star!
I was expecting either nothing, or "No! Get a PC you cheapskate". I'm not a cheapskate though, this is almost £1600 of Amiga :)

# I don't have a PowerPC (yet)
and MacOS doesn't quite know what to make of my 68060.. its far too hit and miss.

Although when it DOES work, its a damn fast non-powermac. The 2D performance of the Voodoo helps a lot though...

# Marvelous. I'm afraid I can't be jealous though, because:
A) I like to leave windows behind when I leave the office
2) Linux is for servers, not desktops (in my humble opinion) and
iii) I don't like MacOS. Although OS X is getting there :)
