rainbow islands on the amiga is wicked :-) funny you should mention cheetah, my mother lives near their old office building. it's kind of funny they were selling those ms6 synths and sx16 samplers right in the same place where i grew up. i have a an ms6 but it's fucking broke and the repairman said it'll be expensive to repair. other games i like on amiga are micromachines, elf, another world |

ive seen my brother using Solaris before, i dont know what he was doing on it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my 3/110 ran solaris. people still use solaris, for some reason. this guy on #qt or #gnome-hackers -- or something -- he was all, "yeah, i'm trying to compile on solaris, here, because i want to have a good music player on my solaris box." as i recall, no one was able to answer his question. even stranger, no one asked why he was still using solaris irix was rad. |
