Will there every be another computer like the amiga?

Hi,

@haywirepc,

Don't know if there will ever be another computer like the Amiga, the Amiga was a leader in sound and graphics at the time of its birth, today its graphics and sound can be over run by a childs small handheld learning computer.

but

hold on to your hats, the next five years will make the computers that are out today look like the first calculators. They are talking about terrahertz cpu's, graphics like you haven't seen before, and sound so real that you would swear you were at a concert if you could afford the speakers that can produce it.

The computers of the future well it just might be awesome. Not Amazing just Awesome.

Hi,

@bloodline,

To me the iphone is the worst piece of crap that was ever brought out to the world, it is like everything else rotten core brings out. An overpriced piece of junk that has people dying on the roads because like most of todays new generation, they don't know when to drive and when to text or play with their new tech toys. The girl who hit me was texting on her iphone GRRRRR!!!! another knotheaded rotten core apple user, had to replace my saturn auto.

Now lets get this straight, I hate cell phones, but I carry one for emergencies, and thats it, my auto has to be off the road before I use it. You young generation users just don't understand that a auto is 3000 lbs. of dynomite waiting to go off.

I see these young kids at work all the time with their iphones, if they worked as hard as they used their iphones, this world would have no problems, but getting them to put down their iphones and work, welllll.

Hi,

@tone007

You have to excuse dreamcast270mhz he resides in virginia and is nothing but a dumb redneck probably with an education lower than a 5th grader and deserves a Mac.

Lets be honest, Macs are for the people that really can't understand computers. Like Jobs said "Keep our users confined so that they can't mess anything up" don't let them get into the inner workings or the hardware of the computer, they just aren't smart enough for that.

So in his case the Mac is a perfect machine for him to use, and just maybe one day he will grow up and use a real machine instead of a toy.

Hi,

@persia,

MaximumPC just wrote an article on one of the new Bell Labs CPU's, they found out that the material used on our stealth bombers can also be used to make electrical chips that can possibly reach speeds of a terrahertz with no heat sink. Bell Labs thinks that with a little developement that maybe in 2 years we may be talking about gighertz chips like the old megahertz chips, hopefully I will still be alive to see this.

Then again, I have heard other amazing things in the past, on memory, on hard drives, on paper storage etc. and never seen anything of this junk. I remember when IBM was experimenting on a paper storage medium. You saved your files to the printer, the printer printed out your program sort of in a different shade bar. Then you used a scanner like device to load it back into your computer. Vanishware.

So this could be another one of those vanishware claims. ;-D

As for being delusional, NOT.

Crazy and insane, I will buy that

Totally a nut case, you got it

Hi,

@dreamcast270mhz,

How can you say that Microsoft stole OS/2, IBm hired Microsoft to create it, Bill Gates had a dispute with IBM on this matter and backed out of the contract and dropped IBM stating that IBM would be nothing without him and they weren't. They started failing miserably until Red Hat helped bail them out. As for Microsoft stealing OS/2 I don't think so because Gates saw that OS/2 was an inferior design and tried to convince IBM to support his new OS Windows. IBM said noway, Gates dropped IBM like a hot potato, and IBM went silent at least in the destop market.

Why should Microsoft release XP, did Amiga release AmigaOS?, did CPM release CPM? Did Atari release whatever they used? Did Apple release OSX? Did the chicken cross the road?
