I use Maya, ZBrush, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, Painter and After Effects, just to name a few, on an almost daily basis. Name *ONE* Amiga, even the Next Gen's, that can do that. Gobshite......... I wasn't aware that Gobshite = Delusional.
Why on earth would I care to even attempt to name one Amiga that can run those programs, I know now that your not the sharpest knife in the drawer but why you want me to answer such a silly question beggars belief. I also wasn't aware that gobshite = delusional, so why your even attempting to compare the two, is just a waste of your two brain cells rubbing together.
By all means, use your Amiga for "ALL my (your) computing needs", but not all of us are able to do that. That's not our fault. We didn't make Commodore or the like go bankrupt.
So someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use a computer, and it's all Commodores fault !, Gawd, give me strength...
I'm going to quote you verbatim, in toto here:
"However having spent a couple of days this week trailing around the shops I can now safely say that the 2 grand I was willing to spend shall be staying in my pocket. The simple reason being nothing I saw impressed me in the slightest."
Yes, you weren't impressed, 'cos there's nothing out there that's more impressive than 4096 colors, 4-channel stereo, 32 instruments, 8 sprites, a blitter and a male and female voice. :roll: An IPHONE has more "computing capability" than a decked out A4000, with a PPC card, BVision, etc *AND* it's smaller, not to mention cheaper.
Wow I see the light now, I'll just nip out and buy an IPHONE, hook it up to a monitor add a keyboard some hard disks a Gfx card, USB ports, better CPU, floppy drive, CD/DVD writer, a joystick and a mouse and bobs your uncle I've got the perfect machine to beat an A4000...
What the f**k are you on, does the institution know you've escaped...
It's called a typo, Moron. I've been around here a *LONG* time and most of my friends on here, well, we don't care about typos and certainly don't use that as a "slam" against someone, trying to infer intellectual superiority. Wow..... I'm so hurt......you got me. Gee, I don't know what to do.
And since you're so up on "common grammatical errors", English, since it's a language, should be capitalized. Also, that should read "....if you believe that what you say is a "fact of life" (you use quotations here) then you're a total dunderheid as well..."
Wow, you've been around here a *LONG* time, well my Dad's bigger than your Dad... Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah. (just showing off my intellectual superiority again )
I can build a greater product with less than a grand, that would run circles around your *BEST* Amiga and it *STILL* runs all the same Amiga software you do, faster and more efficient, through emulation.
Who cares what you can build for less than a grand, I sure as hell don't. I'll put it as simply as I can for your simple little mind to understand once again, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CAN DO, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY USING MY AMIGA, now if you can't understand that then,
go bile yer heid ya diddy ye...

Just to keep the thread on topic, the answer is still maybe...
