Re: Celestia ported to AmigaOS4.1

Well, this sounds hardly convincing to many, I am afraid. It wasn't my intent to convince anybody of anything. Someone asked a question so I answered. Use whatever OS you want, I don't care. Some people don't like Windows or MacOS, or Linux. Some people like using AmigaOS, RiscOS, AROS, Haiku (BeOS...
