Well, my mother is Welsh and my father English... So I think that puts me firmly in the British camp

Yes... AGA only requires 2 extra bits in the bit planes... And 3 extra bits in the palette table to achieve the extra colours...

The sprite hardware had a bit of an overhaul and a burst mode was added to Alice... The AGA chipset was a pathetic upgrade... Especially compared to what the PC gfx chip vendors were making at the time!!!!

Actually the PC chip makers were about 3 years later since they couldn't write hardware-accelerated drivers until Windows 95 came out.

No, S3 had some pretty cool stuff out even by 1991... Others followed pretty quickly... Even the Falcon had 16bit chunky, when the Amiga was still stuck with its archaic planar display...

Also, the palette table was expanded from 12-bits per entry to 25.

Um... That's what I said (I should have made it clear I was saying 3bits added per colour gun)... I didn't realise it the OCS/ECS only had 4bits per gun though? (-Edit- Just checked, the OCS only had 4bit per gun.) I thought it was 5 bits per gun!!! Thus the addition of of 3 bits per gun to bring the entry to 24bit (+one Genlock bit?)... damn it's been so long since I messed around with Amiga hardware... it must be over 10 years now :-(

I happen to be British also, and I too would perfer to not be refered to as European... because I'm not.

So what continent do you come from then?

You have to be pretty uptight and stupid to believe that the British isles are not part of Europe just because you dont fancy EU or whatever. If you as Brits are not European, then _noone_ is European.

And please stop changing the meaning of words, sheesh!

You have to be pretty uptight not to get deadpan British humour

Sheesh; How American!

If you can, try and find an old European... sorry I mean British, TV series called "Ripping Yarns"...

Here are a few clips to start you off:

English perhaps?

Are you suggesting that the_leander is trying to be funny?
If he is, he's not very good at it.

Really, I am not unfamiliar with british humour, you'd be surprised how many british shows we've had on norwegian TV over the years. I very much grasp the concept of what it means to be British, I also know how british soldiers behave when they are over here on NATO winter trainings.

I have myself visited the british isles on many occations, probably been to more places on the isles (and certainly more isles) than most brits - you are not much different from anyone else in Europe, even though some of you like to think so.

British are europeans, just like scandinavians are europeans, just like iberians are europeans, just like balkans are europeans. Being european means being a native, or inhabitant of Europe, the british isles are part of Europe.

Are you sure you're not German? :lol:

NatAmi any good? - What IS Amiga - I know more about Amiga than you! - Can we get modern features into AOS? - I am British!

Been a great read though even if I ave forgotten about 75% of it!

Good point! Now it is off to which side of the road we drive on. :lol:

Well at least the British, and Australians drive on the correct side of the road... How you lot all managed to get it wrong, I'll never know!!!

Interesting article. Also this quote from it:

Today, just four European countries still drive on the left: Cyprus, Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom.

Maybe you should edit the article to make it more "true"?  ;-)

Bah! It should read thus:

Today, just three European countries follow the British and drive correctly: Cyprus, Ireland, Malta.

@kolla

Don't you mean European soldiers?
