The tidal wave of Amiga users who are smashing against the shores of Pee
Cee shops are coming away very disapointed. I now know several people
who are having a great deal of trouble coming to terms with msdos,
Windows, and the many other applications such as virus killers. (A PC
virus killer can take up to eight MBs of hard drive space alone). So
low and behold they are coming back to there trusty Amiga's. I could
sell a dozen 1200's today if I had them.
A quick point worth mentioning to you people who are thinking of
changing over to pee cees, When you bought your Amiga you took it home
and plugged it into the TV, You had sterio sound and super high quality
graphics. If you get your pc home and want sterio sound the chances are
you will need a new sound card and another couple of mb's of ram to make
thinks work as required.
Also you will want the best graphics available for you new machine,
better go out and buy a new graphics card and a bit of extra ram. Oh
you will also need a new monitor, Make sure you get one that works with
your machine...
Now lets really go for an upgrade, Lets look at cd rom drives, Well
quite a selection are available but you cant just plug one in like your
zappo drive, you'll need a card to controll it. It will probably
require a multi IO controller card. Oh this may conflict with your ide
controller card and that will have to be replaced.
Okay now your pc stands you at about £1000, But its still only a 386,
well lets upgrade it to a 486 and have to change all the cards and
software that youve bought, Also theres a new blobby cd out but my cd
rom drive is so fast it does not work. Oh and one other problem I ought
to warn you about is hard drives, If you fit anything bigger to you new
pc than a 540mb hard drive you will need controller software.
The Amiga is far from perfect and it does have some compatibility
problems with certain hardware, However compare this to the pc and its
nothing more than a speck of rain in a thunderstorm. Remember that the
Amiga was still sold more software at Christmas than any other format
including the consoles.. food for thought when you think that by the
time you read this article all the commodore buy-outs and takeovers will
be complete. This means that companys like silica systems who have
250.000.000 Amigas on order will be supplying again.
One last word, apart from doom have you seen a game on the pc that you
have not played on your Amiga last year? Also if you think the Amiga
cant run a doom engine call one of The NFA bbs's and download FEARS2.DMS
and tell me its not as fast or as good as it's pc counterpart!!!!
