- >Greg Thomson posted the following:
- >: Ok, here is why I think Amigas, includeing my A1200 with a 50 Mhz 030 and
- >: 16 megs of ram suck:
-
- >: 1. Good and fast browsers do not exist
-
- So what? Good and fast Operating Systems do not exists for PC's!
-
- >: 2. Graphics cards are too expensive and they are not as fast as their PC
- >: counterparts.
-
- That will change now.
-
- >: 3. Amigas are expensive
-
- And so is all the hardware you need to run shit on a PC!
-
- >: 4. They are not that easy to upgrade. Try adding a graphics card to an
- >: A1200
-
- What do you expect? if you plan on putting cards in a computer, get one
- with slots! DUH! Besides, ever try to put a card in a PC? And have it work?
-
- >: 5. They do not have a PCI bus
-
- PCI is not a good as ZORRO-III (first and best!), and another - we will!
-
- >: 6. There is no memory protection
-
- There is none with windows! Great thing about Amiga, all programs can
- communicate with each other.
-
- >: 7. Most games only run in 15 Khz mode because DBLNtsc is slow
-
- Most games run in 15khz mode cuz the programmers suck.
-
- >: 8. Amiga games suck compared to the onse in the PC world
-
- If having games that don't take all the system resources suck, then I
- guess they do. C= fucked a lot up for Amiga, and losing ground causing
- delvelopers not to use Amiga's was one way. Used to be screenshots and demos of
- games where done with Amiga because it worked better, soon, once again Amiga
- will be the best.
-
- >: 9. Sound on Amigas is very poor and 16 bit cards are too expensive (14 bit
- >: is not that great)
-
- Amiga sound is not poor, for some reason I have never heard A PC with a
- 16 bit soundcard play any sounds better than the Amiga.
-
-
- If price is your only descent argument I suppose you drive a fiesta that
- you think will blow the doors off of my built 350 powered,4.11 geared stoked
- transmission vehicle?
