Title: What do we have?
Post by: AmiDelf on March 31, 2004, 12:24:55 PM: What is it that we have, wich others don't?

Any thoughts?

For me,.. Amiga is superb because of .iff, .lha and other nice specific formats.

When I talk to people out there, I also notice that if I say .iff, there is sure that most of graphic users thinks aha, this is from Amiga.

Same with the MOD format.

What other things is Amiga specific? Any thoughts/comments?

The Guru can even be useful sometimes.

And it used to be partually reversible. Anybody remember the Guru-Capture program G.O.M.F.?

We still get respect from a lot of graphics & video professionals. Some never used the Amiga but know the material produced by it & some have been forced to move to other platforms. For example, on March 22nd OSNews ran a story on the state of video editing & related software on Linux. The author mentioned his old Amiga more than once in glowing terms.

A structured and nicely layed out OS that doesn't need a lot of ram or a pagefile. Command go in C:, Libraries go in Libs:, Prefs files go in Envarc, All the help files go in Help:

Fantastic.

Oh, yeah, we have assigns too :-)

And lets not forget the no-one-can-do-without Ram Disk :-D

Post by: AmiDelf on April 01, 2004, 08:29:27 AM: Thats a good one!

What should we create now at the moment, wich could get PC and Mac users to buy PegasosII or AmigaONE computers?

Is a own movie format a good choice maybe?

You seem obsessed with avoiding standards at all costs... that is just plain weird. Why spend all that time an resources on creating a new video format when that time spent porting DivX would be infinatelly superior.
