As much as I dislike M$, I have to give them some credit. Their developer documentation
is pretty good.


Yea it is, and so are their tools. Best in the industry. It's one of the things they've done right. Apple is working very hard to catch up to it.

Windows and Linux/BSD are more efficient than OSX. I like the mac and have house full of 'em but lets face it, it's on the bottom of the pile.

there's other things Amiga can do besides compare processor speeds. Why don't you try reading the joystick at 1Khz while doing all those things?


teh epic joystick thread. a.org hall of fame

No the more accurate version is to take into account joystick state the instant it changes.  All other means are approximations.  As I said numerous times, what difference does it make if I sample audio at 22Khz or 44Khz-- not much but logically there's a difference if you know there can be frequency components that won't get captured at 22Khz.  And what difference does it make if it's losslessly compressed audio or MP3.  You may not experience a difference but that's looking at it subjectively.


The great joystick man who denies signal bounce in his own data and talks about KHz this and Hz that and truck loads of stuff but never mentioned Nyquist.
