- Excuse me, but the heck is the point with all the "Awesome" new AGA
- modes if the nice ones like 800x600 or 1280x500 flicker hardcore when used
- with the 1960 or 1950 monitors?????
- I mean, when I look at a PC screen in super VGA, regardless of the
- resolution, every screen is deinterlaced and ROCK STEADY!!!!
- The Amiga lacks this.. Sadly Commodore, after 7 years cannot get it
- right, so I wonder where the heck all the money in R&D goes to???? Maybe, just
- maybe Commodore employees spend the money on extra long lunch breaks or
- vacations to the Carribbean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Meanwhile, Mac and IBM (Video Card) engineers have got it just right!!
- Commodore could learn a few lessons from Mac's SYSTEM 7.0, like memory
- protection and allocation, forget that both computers have virtual memory as
- a part of there operating systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- If these things cost more than so be it, put a decent machine out not
- some half-ass rush job or poorly planned computer.
- Computers are two things: the SYSTEM software and the HARDWARE, you cannot
- sacrifice one for the other!!
- Commodore's latest CASE designs seem ugly, for a lesson look at MAC case
- designs !!!!
- Sleek is what Amigas are not, big blocks of beige is what they are!!!!
-
- Anyway, I'm just sick of making excuses for Commodore to MAC & IBM freaks.
-
- I will always use an Amiga, beacuse thanks to third party manufacturers,
- innovative designs are always in the Amiga marketplace, making up for the
- somewhat lack of vision from Commodore!
-
- I could also blast them for Marketing, but that would take a further
- 600 lines to write, so I won't bother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- See Ya
