mac and pc sucks!!!!

[jj]

Since there are so many who do not care about the Amiga here, I think that i have to say something about it:

Not even watched it, youtube blocked in work.  But would a be correct in, illinformed rant about pcs and macs, and over the tope zealous defence of the Amiga??
 
Whatever Yawn

[jj]

I have seen some amazing demos on the amiga. especially some of the ppc demos that are so small you cant but marvel at the obvious coding prownes.
 
I have also seen amazing things on PCs and amstrads and snes etc etc etc.
 
I love amiga, but I have not used one for quite some time now. I thinks IBM clones have their place. Macs not used. Love my Xbox and my PSP as well.
 
Really don't see the point in all these recent and over the years. Amiga rulez. windows sucks etc etc on infintium.
 
All Hardware and software has its place somewhere and everyone has different prefences.
 
No one is wrong, no one is right. Its all down to personal taste.
 
Same goes for music

Well if you think needing 1500mhz and 2gb of RAM for a simple GUI to launch tasks is OK then you are welcome to post XP Microsoft shite inflicted on poor saps.
 
A PC is a tool, and not a very good one but at least they're not overprice (Apple I'm looking at you!) but it is far from elegant.....put it this way....if you have a blunt chainsaw.....and attach a 2000bhp turbo charged engine to it...it will eventually cut a tree down....get my drift
 
The Amiga was elegant in every way, THIS is why people lament its demise and still have affection for it to this day. There's a difference between being a fanboy and understanding what should be sufficient to run a reasonable OS/what is bloatware plain and simple

Not defending Xp, even though lets be honest, it pisses all over amigsoS and if you take the blinkers off is a very good OS.  I aminly use ubuntu these days so ....
 
PC hardware is a million miles supperior to our beloved amigas, if you cant see that , then sorry but you are being mad

[jj]

Why should it be better.   Nobody codes with storage/speed/ram in mind, because hardware is so cheap.  If you dont like windows use something else.  There are choices , but it all runs on the same hardware

[jj]

Wine will play modern warfare 1 , though not tried it, but there is an installer on the play on linux program.
 
To be honest got fed up of spending hundreds upgrading my pc all the time to have the best looking games.  Xbox 360 so much easier andd wuicker to switch on

[jj]

no "joke" like that is harmless. There is an implication there that is inappropriate..

Seriously.  I am not defending the remarks.  But when was it that it became law that a) you are not allowed to offend anyone and b) nobody should ever be offened by anyone or anything ever.

Today's computers be they Macs or PCs are able to do video, image and sound editing that one could not even dream about on the Amiga. Operating systems have become more complex because there's more complex activities for them to do.
 
Amiga boards live in a sort of alternate reality world where Macs, PCs and Linux boxes have not changed in two decades. Where people seem to attach almost magical characteristics to IBM's Power architecture. Where a small cabal of maybe a thousand Amiga Illuminati know more than the billions of other people who use computers, especially than the computer scientists, engineers, academics, et al, who instead of worrying about measuring the bounce of a joystick are wasting their time developing complex solution to world problems. Don't they know that they could just write that app in Amiga Basic?

 
Very well said

[jj]

Thats all simply a function of the lightning fast hardware that even a low end x86 machine has these days.
 
A simple thing like pulling down a menu in my multi-core, multi Ghz, mult Gb ram Ubuntu system, and the menu contents are drawn more slowly than a 14 mhz 2 meg A1200. Its "sticks" as i go across the menu bar and the next men u is drawn and populated and the old one erased Move your pointer down the menu bar a little faster, and the selection jumps over the menu items as the OS can't keep up with the pointer. FFS it just FEELS shit.

Something wrong with your install then mate.

[jj]

Ha. Yeah. That hoary old chestnut. NOTHING wrong with the install. Its just Linux, a CLI OS with a GUI sitting on top to make it LOOK like i have a mouse and GUI system, but not FEEL like it.

Well I must admit ubuntu 10.4 on my 2gig amd 64x2 4200+ , the GUI is the most responsive GUI I have used.

Code is not as efficent as when it was written for one piece of hardware. This is true. That is not to say its inefficient. Even if it is. It doesn't matter with todays hardware.
 
ITs not, on the whole, windows and apps that push ram, cpus etc fwd. Its games.
 
Get over it.
 
Windows 7 is actually a decent OS. Does it matter how big it is. And what the fook has an enclypedia got to do with anything. Nothing. Its apples and oranges.
 
Are you being purposfully retarded.  Because somethign contains lots of information but fits on cd rom, then windows should be smaller that a cd-rom .
 
Is that your argument ?

[jj]

i don't have my CV64 68060 A4000 to check it up and running, but I don't remember any re-draw delays. At least AmigaOS doesn't feel the need to re-draw every icon on the desktop just for the hell of it.

 
Well open a drawer on the amiga with a lot of icons in it and see how long that takes to draw compared to a Windows.
 
And at the end of the day when hardware is so cheap and getting fasteqr why bother making na tight OS there relly is no need.  So I still fail to see what your agument is ?
