It's devotional all right! I ran a software company for five years doing
programs for the Amiga only. I think the difference between an Amiga
owner and a PC owner is the same as between Pirsig and John in ZMM as
motorcycle owners. The Amiga owner cares, the PC owner just uses it.
For example, the original Amiga 1000 (still have mine :) have all
the designer's names written on the inside of the top cover. They took
pride in what they were doing. The greedy business men who later set
directions for future development didn't care.
As for the book reviews, keep'em'coming. The season for books is here.
