Well I just wanted to say that I'm deeply offended by your use of
punctuation.


Just kidding.... ;')

Yep, my website was originally done in a text editor on my Amiga,
previewed in iBrowse. Then I used a program from Aminet that was
really still just a text editor but it had hot buttons to insert
the HTML code, but I was still working in the source code.

Now I use PageMill in (yuck!) MS Windos but my early experience
makes it easy to tweak the source.

Almost all the graphics on my current website were done on an Amiga
3000.

I started on time-share fanfold paper terminals in high school, got
access to the TRS-80 Model 1 when I worked at Radio Shack (also in
high school) then a Radio Shack clone of the Sinclair ZX-81 for one
day (returned the piece of junk the next day), then a Vic 20,
followed by a C64 and a bunch of ZX-81's to play on, got a few
Wintel 386's rescued from a dumpster, then quickly ran up the
ladder of Amigas.

I currently run MS Windows 98, ME, and 2000, and Lindows 4.5, and
Amiga mostly via Amiga Forever. I consider MS Windows to be death
of a thousand cuts. In other words, there is no one single huge
deficiency, there are a thousand little ones that slow you down and
cut productivity and piss you off.

I mean, c'mon, I run MS Win2000 on 1.2GHz with 768M of RAM, why
does my mouse pointer become unuseably jerky just because it's
downloading a virus checker update?
