Hold ME back...at least MIPS magazine has a 3MIP (Meaningless Indicator of Processor Speed) minimum. I've only seen the Amiga mentioned ONCE, but they have stuff like this...Intel's equivalent to a 68000 w/a math co-processor. Then there's their "Application Watch," their list of shipping software for "multitasking operating systems witha graphical user interface." Listed are: Open Look, NeXTStep, OS/2 PM, and Motif. Where's AmigaDOS 2.0??? There are a hell of alot more Amigas out there running AmigaDOS (1.3 and 2.0) than there are clones running OS/2, which has a whole 22 applications written for it. After Amiga UNIX is released, Amigan's can at least be glad that Open Look is leading all the others listed with 55 applications so far: 18 Office Tools/Utilities, 12 Wordprocessors/DTP, 4 Spreadsheets, 4 Communications/LAN, 7 Graphics/Illustration, 3 Databases, and 7 Engineering/Science applications.
