- I always hate to be the one who points out something that I perceive to
- be negative... but...
-
- Am I the only one who has noticed a lack of new information on the
- Amiga Technologies Home Page for well over a month?
-
- I would like to think that AT would have people (working for AT or not)
- that would at least on a weekly basis make sure that their loyal customers
- are getting some sort of updated news and insights, et al, on the happenings
- with the Amiga.
-
- Honestly, they are working hard on this, so I am not *mad*, just disappointed
- a little I guess. I have a feeling that the silence on the new Amiga in
- March may be due to 1 of 2 things.
-
- 1) It is really going to be no more improved that a faster CPU and 2 Fast-
- RAM slots. While nice, its not enough. We are behind the times.
-
- 2) They still have a 'surprise' for us in March and there will be more than
- the above in the new Amigas. My hope would be for a re-worked Paula
- chip that would allow for true double speed High Density floppy access,
- as well as improved audio, etc. Faster chip RAM would be nice too.
-
- While I hope the 2nd is the case (I can understand the silence if so), I also
- fear that the first could be.
-
- Hey AT, if you haven't yet done so, getting a new audio standard going PRIOR
- to the PowerAmiga coming out would be a great idea as it would give you time
- to get more familiar with the chips or whatever else that you use and maybe
- be able to impliment it even better in the PowerAmiga. Besides, it would be
- a dream come true for many Amiga owners to have true 16-bit audio (even if
- trough the same 4 voices, however 8 or 16 would be better).
-
- Okay, I've said my piece. Let whatever will come of it come already! ;)
