[leirbag28]

Boy oh boy oh boy...............do You see the possibilities? Goodness.............just imagine me Doing a SCALA/Powerpoint Presentation out of my pocket..with an attached USB harddrive or even 1gb Thumb drive!

Tsk Tsk Tsk!  this is where Amiga could have been....... way ahead and all!

this reallllllyyyyy ticks me off.

it has 720 x 480 resolution and S-Video out to connect to a TV or Projector.
Sooooo Freaking simple to do.

THis just may be my next machine when I abandon Amiga finally.

Wouldn't a proper Laptop be a better idea?
----------------------------------------------------------


No......and I will tell you why...............................what is every company trying to do right now?

Making Palm Tops............shrinking that Laptop intio a PDA size............thats the future.............with Keyboard that roll into your pocket.

Sure An Amiga Laptop would be highly desirable...but I am so sure they wopuld screw that up beyong belief.

I personally believe the Amiga should always be at the forefront of VIDEO.................so an "Amiga Laptop"  would actually be a console with HDTV LCD screen, shaped exactly like a laptop..............but Native Video OUT would be COMPONENT HDTV and S-VIDEO  at highter than 1080i or 1080p

@bloodline

Sorry..........but Mac or PC's still cant do Video Properly

so so so sad.................but at the same time encouraging to see Amiga is still the solution.

THats why I havent moved on to PowerPoint and still use SCALA.

I occasionally do PowerPoint Jobs for Hotels, Night clubs and events and such...............and let me tell you...................Amiga can do all of it pretty much........and so much better in many cases.

Unbelievably amazing and encouraging at the same time.....it confirms my reason for having an Amiga.

its a constant reminder to keep it.


and Yes Amiga "Dropped the Ball"  probably..............that doesnt mean the AMiga concept should die.......on the contrary............being wehat I see today and how Macs and PC's are imitating the Amiga right now as we speak...........constantly..................................then it just show how much of an open Window a NEW Amiga still has.

Windows Vista and OSX  are still playing with Public Screens...............none do it like the Amiga as well as the Amiga..............sure they have nice special effects and transistions............but Have the Amiga add that too and it remains king.

I say so from experience..............not just talking here

as I said...I work in New York in hotels...clubs, parties and events.......around PC and Mac users....my brother who I constantly hang with is a Mac Freak.

I just laugh privately when I see the trouble the spent figuring out whats the proper resolution for video................or why their is black borders around their video if they selected 720 x 480

when they finally get it right.its too blury.....if they get around fixing that............the Video cracks and never runs smooth.

The only time Video usually workes well is when they run it in  a PC native mode:   640 x 480 or 320 x 240 and all that on either a Projector (VGA) or a Monitor (VGA)

See the trick today is that TV's are turning into VGA screens and PC resolutions rather than normal NTSC and PAL screens..........this si to make TV's conform to PC's

Sad............and stupid.

And I am specifically talking about Pentium 4's and High end Macs here..not old crap..............and I am comparing my CD32/SX32 pro to these.

Refreshing!

I dont know how much of an avid Amiga user you are, but if you have been.......especially for video.............you might get exactly what I am talking about. :-)

Its basically the same feeling you get when emulating a Machine..............its just not the same!  

thats how Video Feels on PC and Mac


We Amigans are not fanatics Blindly............its for a reason.its cuz we are more intelligent that the average PC user and even more than some so called PC and Mac professionals..................so far, I have seen that I know more than most PC and Mac professionals............................and I dont consider myself professional :-)

I attribute it to the Rightness of the Amiga way. it really is true.


it is the same with my Faith in God.......I dont follow that blindly...........I study the Bible daily..........the more I study it.the more I realise God is real as can be.

Notice I said Study.......the church is called to know what they believe.......

unfortunately........there are many who dont know what they believe....have gonbe to chuurch all their lives.but never piucked up the Bible..............How dumb is that?  I wanna make sure Im not being tricked.


Im sure Amigns here can relate what Im saying about the Amiga and what we know about it without a doubt and the reasons we stick to it.  althought others are just simply addicted for nostalgic reasons.

@maffoo


I welcome 1 Standard too!  such as HDTV.........just in higher resolutions.  And NOT from a PC screen.


But yeah.you get me on the Mac and PC video OUT issues. its fake output.

Not even the awesome ATI ALL IN WONDER pros get it right.
