MAC Beer: At first, came only in a 16-oz can, but now comes in a 32-oz can. Considered by many to be a light beer. All the cans look identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself.

It comes in 32-oz cans, but when you look inside, the cans only have 16-oz of beer in them. Most people will probably keep drinking Windows 95/98 Beer until their friends try Windows 2000 Beer and say they like it.

AmigaOS Beer: The company has gone out of business, but their recipe has been picked up by some weird8 German company, so now this beer will be an import.

Like Unix Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. it originally came in a 16-oz can, but now comes in 32-oz cans too. When this can was originally introduced, it appeared flashy and colourful, but the design hasn't changed much over the years, so it appears dated now. Critics of this beer claim that it is only meant for watching TV anyway.
