What were you doing on your Amiga in 1994?

Selling my A3000 and replacing it with the A4000 030 I got off a college student for $750 fully loaded. Moving the toaster and software over. I was happy. I would wait for a week to render what an xbox or XBOX 360 could render today in real time with all FX turned on.

I quickly realized I would need to keep the a3000 and create scenes on the A4000 and transfer them over, but soon I realized a pc could render all this faster and cheaper. Wasn't until 1996 that I got Pentium 100 that I started rendering on the pc and transfering the files over using a null modem cable, then later on zip drives.

For Image fx enthusiasts I can tell you that running this on even old pc hardware is like being reborn.

I put together a Athlon64 bit quad core 3 ghz pc using parts around the house, I connected my A4000 drive to it and all my old Amiga apps scream. I get a $400 amiga gfx card due to the emulation and 8 megs chip ram too....lol..

dpaint 5 has no limits. Image fx is nice and fast.

I had a version I got as part of an Amiga Purchase and set that up. It runs better than any Amiga released by Commdore or Escom, and I had a CSPPC Scala A400t with all the fixin's.

Heck a $350 Walmart Sams Club PC runs circles around the cracker-jack PPC boards folks purchase on EBAY.It  Blows my mind!!! People!!! on a good day a PPC classic amiga could not compete with a $400 CHEAP PC.
