PC still playing Amiga catchup

[ElPolloDiabl]

P.S. Can we drop the hardware calls argument. They are fine for dedicated arcade systems, but have no place on a modern computer. The bitching should be aimed at said operating systems.

I learned PEEK/POKE statements on the Vic 20. But I had no need to hit the hardware on the Amiga. Did I miss out on anything? Probably not.

Well amigaksi,

Using the philosophy, "If you can't beat em join them." Have you polled the Catweasel Mk IV? (the joystick ports) It should be a much fairer comparison.

Is it about time to close this thread as pointless bickering over a subject which is clearly not true?

and then some.

Or it could be renamed the "the great PC v Amiga flamewar" and keep it as the fighting pit for people that want to duke it out so that they don't open equivalent threads elsewhere.

ROFLMAO.:roflmao:.:roflmao:


Proceed with nonsense forthwith.

I'm back on Blitz Basic myself, coding like a maniac. Lots of fun.

Someone should post a photo of a chimpanzee preening session, for first nitpicker. That behaviour is also guaranteed.

[ElPolloDiabl]

in this enviroment of multitasking this is not feasable.

Not trying to turn this place in lolcats, but:

I must admit my 2 gig hard drive is getting quite full, I still have about 1.2 gig free for use, might be another 10 years and I will have to think about installing a larger hard drive.

PC users can you claim this?

That's because you haven't heard of pr0n.

Shouldn't the GB PS3 issue be about overpriced low spec hardware? Making it just a glorified Blu-Ray Player?

Poor cache usage...:roflmao:

Could Windows problem be poor usage of the cpu cache? I'm using XP and whenever the optical drive spins up the OS slows to a crawl. Why is it putting the brakes on? Why does XP need to wait for the drive... how many cpu cycles does it need? Optimally, the most important OS functions should stuffed in the cpu cache (its 2MB). If that was the case, Windows would be blindingly fast.

A digital joystick doesn't register "how soft" and "how hard" is the reaction.

Symbolically however, the more scans that hit (1/On) the 'harder' the result.

Offcourse they don't.


These consoles are treated as individual platforms. The PC(Games For Windows) is just like any other gaming platforms.

Dell’s direct sale model doesn’t require the classic retail model.
