What is more interesting to me is the comment of people that have never seen an Amiga and therefore his opinion is not contaminated:

This has to be the most interesting project I have read on Spiceworks thus far.
Never saw an Amiga before to be honest. In my opinion, the interface is nicer than stuff Microsoft had out just a few years ago O.O.

@Thread

I wonder if BBS software can set the correct device handler in the preferences, so instead of serial.device it could had set to rely on tcp-ip.

@Fransexy

I have a feeling that speaks more to his dislike of Windows than anything else.
