Amiga vs PC

[save2600]

It wasn't the table cloth that made me think it...not that there's anything wrong with that..

ROTFLMAO!

Don't shoot, he's a man!  :lol:

Damn LP didn't advertise it would come with an mp3 CD on the packaging. Oh well, now I have Something For Everybody on CD, LP & mp3 which my brother will get as he's half deaf anyway  :laughing:

Screw Amiga

What? What's that you say Devil Chicken? You best skip town before the lynch mob catches up with 'ya.  :laughing:

BTW: you don't need 8mb of RAM, Windoze 95 or Netscape to "surf the web" on an Amiga

Did you quote "surf the web" because rather than surf the web, you doggy paddle?

No, no, no... I was trying to compare apples with apples timeframe wise. In the mid to late 90's, the few Amiga browsers we had handled the web just fine. Early 2000's even. It wasn't until support stopped, computing "evolved" and we started seeing new inefficient web languages that the Amiga started to choke on. Java, CSS, PHP, Flash and more, not to mention all the commercially unnecessary crap we deal with today ad and banner wise. The web is a world wide mess today compared to the late 90's, early 2000's.

Motorola 68040 ~ 27.5 MIPS at 25 MHz
Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition i980EE ~ 147,600 MIPS at 3.3 GHz

That's 5367 times the power of an A4000.

Too bad all that power is wasted on Windoze and modern computing in general     And the internet, Adobe products, flash, ad banners, pop-ups, spyware, virus protectors, etc. being what they are today - todays boxes sure don't "feel" all that more powerful. Just bought the latest and greatest computer. Great... now all the crap I don't want to be bothered with in the first place, works that much quicker. Yay. lol

This new job of mine has me working with Windoze 7, Office apps, IE and more. Having ditched the PC world shortly after ME came out, I gotta say... Windows & M$ products *still* suck. Some of the least intuitive and just plain ugly looking garbage to ever grace computing. Blech. Even my company's interweb e-mail looks better and responds quicker through Safari on my Mac. I won't even get into how buggy & clunky their proprietary card reading/Retail POS system software is - all modeled around what looks to be a Windows for Workgroups GUI.

Out of curiosity,what do you consider "computing" ?
 

Karlos summarized it perfectly: "farting around farcebook" *is* most peoples definition of "computing" today. Read my other posts as to what defines the internet "experience" for further clarification.

Todays computing is much like owning the fastest car on the Autobahn. Doesn't matter how "fast" you think you're going since you're still going nowhere fast. :laughing:
