- I used to have an A2000 twin drives Kick 2.04, and GVP G-Lock.
- As i went to university i need to have some sort of compatibility...
- I didn't have enough money to buy an Alfa Dec RISC :))))
- So i bought a 100Mhz Pentium with 16Mb of RAM, 1GB hard disk 4x CD-ROM,
- S3 graphics with 2Mb VRAM, SoundBlaster, Yamaha MX50 board, 17" monitor,
- HP 850C printer (tiresome..) (Commodore were dead at the time)
- I tought - I guess now i wont't have to wait forever for the OS to load
- now - HeHeHe...
- Then i used MS-DOS...
- What's this ??? EMS? XMS? UMB? 640K base RAM aaaaarrrggggghhhhh!!!!
- With time i got used to it. Now i am (almost) happy with it. It's a great
- games and productivity machine thanks to software availability (at a
- price).
- Then i got Windoze 95... Great tough Win 3.11 software goes down most
- often... I run one prog once which gave me : VMM32 stuck Win95 blocked
- and i hard to hard reset. I tought "Great Win95 and all this and the
- computer blocks it' s worse than my A2000". Then i got Win95 to crash
- while using Paint it even crashes with MS Win95 software!!!!!
- Great!!!!!!!!!
-
- I admit PC' s are crap, but i like my nonetelless... :)
- My teachers ATE PC's (some) but we use them A LOT...
-
- PC' s are like VHS... Crap but standard...
- I still use my A2000 in video work and i am thinking of buiyng a new one
- - my A2000 is OLD!!
-
- HEY! I am only human...
