- "Re: New Press Release!". My reply is thus...
-
- Hi Tim,
-
-
- >>
- >>And how about HD floppies, faster graphics, better sound? Same ol' slow
- >>crappy AGA - unless the press released missed something *big*.
- >>
- >>The announcement of this new Amiga sounds a lot like the release of the
- >>A1200 from C=, only with *less* enhancement than there was from the A500
- >>the A1200. Hopefully AT will surprise us...
-

- TR> floppy drives, and how AGA is slow and out dated, and how all new
- TR> Amigas should have at least an '060, but people seem to be forgetting tha
- TR> these things cost money! I doubt AT is just throwing arbitrary prices at
- TR> it merchandise; they want a good price/performance ration just as much as
- TR> we do, I'm sure. But asking them to TOTALLY REDESIGN the Amiga's chipset
- TR> RIGHT NOW is INSANE! IF you want these things, you're going to have to
- TR> prove to AT that there are people who still support the Amiga. That means
- TR> not hesitating at every little bit of vaporware you hear about. It means
- TR> that people have to support AT. We can't just expect them to throw
- TR> millions and millions of dollars at a concept when they can't sell the
- TR> machines they produce now because everybody is waiting...think about it..

-
- *VERRY WELL SAID!*
-
- Every one needs to chill out a little.
