AMIGA vs PC - What can you say about the Amiga?

  AMIGA vs PC



   Here is one of dialogov on "what you can about skazat
Amiga? ", From occurring be nA ENLIGHT'e, with PURPORT
MAD MAX'a. Tak HOW individuals is prevalent komapniyu with which
held this dialog, not identifitsirovalis all the answers
will davatsya en masse, under the label "pc>".


   ? > Sorry, can zadat unto you a few questions?

   pc> Zadat possible with otvetami will be more difficult.

   MM> This is only poshurshim vintami with polchasa, and if not
zavisnem, it may be something to answer ... ;)

   ? > Skazhite, slyshali Do you know anything about a computer 
Amiga? 

   pc> sucks. sucks. Must die. Judging by what we see seychas
<Za spinami they can see the "binary" ED.> Zagibaetsya
constantly. PC - is yes. Vsegda. Yes.

   MM> BINARY can skazat prakticheski edinstvennaya
demka, kotoraya normalno (first raza) zapuskaetsya only nA
A500 KS1.21.3. Mashina nA which its puskali byla A500 + with 
KS2.0. And in general, odna demka not pokazatel glyuchnosti 
machinery, just people priperlo pokazat nA that are capable of 
samye frail klassa AMIGA ... They do udalos nevziraya nA 
constant technical nakladki (open zvuka, vypadanie modulyatora 
...). 

   ? > Ie You are a staunch supporter of pc?

   pc> Ta. Yes. Yes. And waiting for the music PC, Amigu dazhe 
do not look seychas. Amiga - it was domashnie computers to 
toys, they nothing of himself not predstavlyali. Hey, what are 
we about dumaem Amige? Amiga it sucks.


   MM> Typical pisishniki, just do not add an that nA AMIGA
No DOOM, a zhal! They do not osoznayut that their writing in 
mashinki Recently pytayutsya zanyat niche BC (BC-home computer

PC - personalny computer, large screen these concepts are not 
identical!) and vesma ridiculous. Good kachestva toys nA PC all 
ravno do not get (look nA nastoyaschie pristavki: 
SONYPlaySTATION, SEGA SATURN ...)


   ? > Vasha position, of course, very interesna. But we would 
like you to her little obosnovali. Naprimer, though kakie

Model Amig znaete you?

   pc> Oh, yes anyone - that pisal tam in ehah that the Amiga 
is better PC. Naschet models seriously ... Ha Amiga'h, nA 
navorochennyh Amiga'h, delayut videos nA some telekanalah. 
That's good, but it too ogranicheny sound capabilities. There 
tam takoe concept 8m bits.


   MM> not 8 bits, a 14, and no one kanal a 4 (4 kanala to 14 
bits). This is mostly SB, there is one less large screen kanala 
8-bit I does not mean that FM sounds HOW Cheap CASIO, I mean

realnye DMA kanaly igrayuschie samples. Thus do so, or 1 to 8, 
or HOW large screen stereo and 8 mono or HOW to 16 (PC). 
Ostalnye izvraty dostigayutsya purely programmnymi metodami (32 
golosa, etc.) that there are nA AMIGA, yes that AMIGA - dazhe 
nA Sinclair! If do not believe me, remember HOW vystavlyali 
chastotu mikshirovaniya ... Tak that one kanal and 16 bits for 
surely proigryvaet dinamicheskomu diapazonu four kanalam to 14 
bits. (For slow-witted: 8 bits Sample and 6 bits of Volume, and 
the four raza). Kstati, nA PC by umolchaniyu 1b bits Speaker, a 
nA AMIGA ... This nado slyshat! 

   ? > But you sami prekrasno znaete that pc'shnyh krugah
there are constant disputes about the sound. Over the "goose" 
of the same. Had view, have you seen anything in kogda rabote 
paralelno Amigu and pc? 

   pc> No, nikogda not seen, so I say tak. Ona is not
raspostranena. A where it compatible? A crowd is not why nA
prodayutsya a CD to Amige? Neeeet, PC!

   MM> Kstati, HOW for the PC, and tak there AMIGA
professionalnye sound karty. Naschet compatibility, this dazhe
for the better. MS products sucks. Yes and compatibility nA
PC problems. Iron is not something new rabotaet with starymi 
programmami, the processor tablitsu multiplication zabyvaet ... 
And in general AMIGA prekrasno sovmestima in his circle (the 
circle). 

   ? > What you mashinu not seen, is not it nedostatkom.

   pc> Well if I went nA Amigu, HOW could I behold with
it almost slivat? And all the soft pokupat legalno have not
HOW nA PC - took nA nA diskette or a screw, brought ... Money
have vykladyvat.

   MM> C FIDO, THE INTERNET and other networks nA AMIGA case
The situation pobogache than nA PC, and generally realny mailer 
is A600 with HD. Raznyh mailer pachki, unlike the PC, which 
seems nA but nothing GoldED normalnogo not. Naschet 
softa-delusion. You in magazine za spasibo softa nA screw is 
napishut and floppy disks are not dadut. Pravilno! You go to a 
friend. Ha AMIGA samoe too. 

   ? > Nelegalnogo softa seychas dostatochno at zhelanii can
dostat prakticheski all ponadobitsya.

   MM> About the abundance softa for PC better molchat. This 
abundance of appearance only. What we see: we see a huge number 
of CD zabityh something. When blizhayshem rassmotrenii is 
something okazyvaetsya either buggy or useless, or even

kakie a demo version. And if we take into vnimanie that nA PC
Recent stalo fashionable delat progromny software (for
volume, not value), the TA "gora" softa looks zhalkoy
bunch.

   pc> Now if brat A1200, household machinery, it has a
plus - more than one processor, pc to takogo, of course, far 
away. 

   MM> I'd skazal coprocessors ...

   pc> A of the downsides - no firms - provayzerov soft'a,
lack tehobsluzhivaniya in Russia. A if

   MM> Ha mi a lot of them, yes? And you regularly walk to them 
and pokupaesh branded version? Maybe you zabyl kakim was PC 
paru years nazad? Tehobsluzhivanie umora too! UPGRADE zamena 
vinta 120 nA 420 - You will not only otdadite your stary screw, 
but still pereplatite za new!


   pc> brat A4000, navorochennuyu then ona for professionalov.
Amiga ogranichena.

   MM> Ogranichena not AMIGA, a bezdarnye people. In principle, 
AMIGA Architecture has a very flexible, unlike the PC, which was

zaduman general HOW buhgalterskaya mashina, because when
razrabotke nebylo postavleno zadachey sdelat of his candy.
Glavnoe - prostota. Generally PC has a structure identical
ZXSPECTRUM. People are not stupid about what I understand. (Do 
not want for nothing raspinatsya)


   ? > In short, you are happy with the mashinami and schitaete 
that have dostatochno informatsi about other pltformah to judge

them?

   pc> Amiga not raspostranena. Ona dorogaya.

   MM> Naschet rasprostranennosti is debatable, not
rasprostraneny raznye tam NeXT, and prochaya ekzoticheskaya 
labuda. PC just a cheap consumer goods kitaysky, kakim delali 
and DENDY. 

   ? > You do not stanete otritsat that normalnoy raboty pc
needs constant Upgrade?

   pc> Nasha life - continuous Upgrade.

   MM> This is about tak: you have given birth without legs, 
without hvosta without head, with only a hole for the enema (to 
feed could be), and gradually prishivayut year later, the three 
then her leg (a) a hand ... A because one prishivaniya malo. 
Nado also learn polzovatsya seven devaysami. After all, if a 
tail to sew, then obviously they will wag nauchitsya vesma 
difficult (though possible, but it will take years nA).
