- Consider the differences between the GEnie crowd and the internet crowd
- and the difference in consensus between the GEnie crowd and the internet
- crowd. Can we learn anything here?
-
- Something I *can* afford that is supposed to be a technology upgrade
- (but is a reversal on the HD i/f and a total stagnation on the audio,
- the two things that concern me most) and is priced above comparable
- machines from other vendors is *definitely* overpriced.
-
- Consider a 486 machine with one of several advanced audio boards and
- you have (IMHO) a heckuva lot better price/performance figure than
- you do with what the A4000 looks to be.
-
- Soooo, unless you are the type who *has* to have the advanced Amiga
- graphics (do you want to target your market that tightly) you are
- probably a lot better off looking around first.
-
- I've been waiting a *long* time for an audio upgrade on the Amiga.
- This should be an easy thing to do given the state of the art in
- audio electronics and the current status of the Amiga's audio. If I
- have to buy an add on card to do this it makes me consider other
- machines that accept decent audio add on cards.
-
- This is not a flame. This is one of your customers responding.
