-
- This has NOTHING to do with the Amiga or the PC. It's just the card you
- plug into it. When and if the PAmiga comes out that same card can go in
- it and then we can do the same. And if someone used the same chips to
- make a video card for Zorro III then my A4000 could do it too.

- > : Care to see a nice screen shot of my PC running a quicktime video, formatting a floppy, running Photoshop, netscape and downloading a FTP
- all at the same time????
-
- No, I did this kind of stuff in 1985 on an Amiga A1000. Why should I
- want to see something thats ten years old.
-
- > : Face it... Amigas were cool.. Been there. Done that.. Now its time to move on my friends.
-
- Move on to what? I have a 100Mhz 486 system and I only use it when I
- have to. My A4000 is as fast in most things I do and it only runs at
- 40Mhz.
- > I have seen 100 MHz Pentiums running Windoze 95 with "only" 16M of RAM and if I try to push them as hard as an Amiga, they start swapping like
- a bitch. PeeCee
-
- Isn't that the truth. I spend more time waiting for the damn Win95 to
- stop disk access than I do working on it. PeeCee. In the case of Win95
- it stands for Piece of Crap. There's is probably nothing wrong with the
- Wintel hardware, but who knows with the shit OS.
-
- What I want to know is why are these PeeCee Jerks doing on an Amiga news
- group? Their just like the so called Amiga jerks that J.C. Dvorak was
- talking about. Why don't you PeeCee people talk on a news group where
- some one gives a shit. We don't.
