I think even the machine he has used matters! The Amiga has a certain feel. And this feel effects the work. (Just like all thing in life)

As you are a "designer". You should probably know Mike refers to the palette used. This means that in all the icons the same colors will be used and that gives limitations in your art.

NO I see it differently! Some said that just saying Amigas are more advanced isn`t enough. So he did the best thing by showing what is more advanced. When you just use words people misunderstand your words. He just used it as backing up his opinions. (You could have done the same.)

It only says he is suprised. And makes a joke about that Ataris will get an Amiga look. [[ ;) means a wink and that means he is just joking - and a funny one too ;) ]] And at last he just restated evl`s view. <<EVL:The whole discussion is pretty senseless. Juding a system by how the icons look? Get real...>>

Haha you must be joking, right???? A big majority of responses he got were from ATARI.ORG members! Jan Daldrup (thex@atari.org), Vido (vido@atari.org), Pieter van de Meer (earx@atari.org), The Paranoid (paranoid@atari.org), Marko (marko@atari.org), Richard Davey (rich@gem.atari.org), EVL (ae@atari.org)
Did I miss someone???? LOL

He is not that naief he just wanted to talk about the future Amigas. He used the old classic Amigas as an example how great the Future will be. I think you yourself are a bit in a worry about what will happen to Ataris. Maybe that is why the whole Atari team responds EN MASSE negatively to his posts.
