- In case you didn't notice - I own a PC and an Atari computer. Just keep this
- in mind because it might help understand.
-
- I know what the Falcon was built for. You know what for? To get Atari Corp.
- out of the recession and nothing else! You said it yourself, it wasn't
- designed to compete with "big toys" but for some strange reason people
- continue equating it to "big toys." Isn't that strange?
-
- What does soundblaster have to do with memory consumption? Seriously, I doubt
- you have ever seen a PC otherwise you would have known. Besides, I do not own
- a sound blaster-pro card. I have the regular sound blaster card in my 286 and
- the PAS-16 in my 486. Do you need more than 8 Meg on the PC? No, depends on
- what you are doing but generally not. At least I can upgrade to 64 Meg but can
- you? You know, a few years ago they said 64 Kbytes was enough. I am currently
- considering a motherboard that contains a 486/50 MHz DX and the i860. I have
- a 486/50 MHz DX but I like "toys." -)
-
- I do not run windows and never will. Also, I do not pay any medical bills!
