It's like comparing a sundial with an atomic clock, there is no comparison.
 

 
Amen. Essentially that's what this thread is doing, comparing two very different pieces of technology which were developed for their time.
 
Similarly we could argue that the horse and cart is superior to today's motor vehicle eg.  Horses were enviromentally friendly, there were fewer crashes, they were self repairing and could multitask ( poo and walk at the same time :))

Hi, you may or may not know about DisplayPort, it is designed to replace the DVI and the analogue VGA display interface. Here is a link to an article explaining it:

The best part is, it allows you to do picture-in-picture and split screen displays.
If Amiga was still running things we would have had that ability from the get go.

It makes you wonder what other things we missed out on in a PC (and console) dominated world...


If Amiga were still running things , we'd all be on Ibm.org wondering what could have been... I love the Amiga but sometimes I take off my rose coloured glasses to rest my eyes. ;-)
