Hi,
@Linde
So what you are really telling me is that you can type faster than your computer can display on the screen, as for working/home environment, I use my Amiga for every day tasks I have even used it in a business environment and found it quite capable for my needs without the worry of picking up virus's or the loss of data, as a matter of fact I still have some of my old data from my business still left on my hard drive from 1996.
Now lets talk about about zipping and unzipping files, the Amiga 4000 backs up my whole hard drive of 2.2 gig in about 10 to 15 minutes using lharc through diskmaster, and while it is doing it I am usually in another window playing a game or listening to some mods or sometimes both.
As for TV's I have repaired them for years, and it has only been a couple of years where they have surpassed the 22 fps rate. yes hilary TV's have finally surpassed that rate because back in the old days they came up with a motion picture standard of 22 fps because the human eye and the brain sensors interpert motion at that speed unless your adrenalin is kicked in, then even at crash speed in a car under survival conditions will the brain kick into gear in order to survive. Also you should try talking to the motion picture society on the 22 fps, its been the standard since TV's first appeared on the market.
And now for the biggie, how do you expect your computer to perform, I expect mine to perform at high speed so that I can play modern day games, I expect excellent graphics performing at high speed (even though my brain can't really interpert it) but the computer at this point feeds me more visual information even though my brain can only pick up a small bit of it thats why I use a PC to play games with, and an Amiga to do my general bookwork, like data processing, word processing, and spreadsheets on. However at that being said I do enjoy using my PC for surfing the web and the instant display that I receive while using my Q6600, with 8 meg of sli ram, and two nvidia 8800 graphic cards, with 2 250 gig sata drives, and one 500 gig sata drive, and one old 40 gig ide drive, with a dual layer dvd burner, which sometime in the near future I hope to upgrade to blue ray. I use all this power to play todays modern games at very high resolutions. Now you are probably from a country probably in Europe where they were far advanced as far a TV are concerned because they use pal at a different freq and frame rate where you are probably correct, but the US who is restricted by US laws which are quite backward and archaic I am sorry to say where stuck at the 22 fps for TV.
Now for my final part, thank you for supporting Amiga, I know it is quite archaic by todays standards but to say a person can't use it today because of its age is quite nonsense, my challenge to you is pick up an old Amiga game like Rolling Thunder and try to beat it, I haven't heard of anyone getting through all its levels as of yet, I sure haven't I have only made it to level 7 and I play that game at least once a week, PC games are made to be beat because that brings more enjoyment to the lazy dopey kids who don't know what the outside is for today, they sit in the house and play stupid computer games, some of them even meet their husbands and wives over the stupid computer today, they look like zombies and act like draculas only up at night to play stupid games over the internet. I like football, baseball and basketball, did some hockey playing during my younger years, but today I rather be out fishing.
Sorry if I offended you by calling everyone who uses a PC on a Amiga site a Loser, but this is still an Amiga site and we all were losers when Amiga went bankrupt and we had to settle for todays sorry PC's.
