  AMIGA vs PC



   One of the interview, courtesy of predostavlennyh magazine 
ZX-Format Mihailom Akimovym (Logros). Interviewed people zabyl

predstavitsya, however, HOW, and many others.


   ?> I pine Bora. Just do something I systems analyst. Rabotal 
nA all platformah except pozhaluy, Amiga. Seychas priehal see 
that narod doing. Perhaps new ideas will emerge. I rabotayu a 
oblasti communication. Nedavno napisal programmku for Spektruma 
to a relcom enter. I am sam users

   MM> A was worth it? RELKOM it zhalkoe similarity THE 
INTERNET, and I kazhetsya realnoy benefit from Speccy will not 
get ... 

vatel relcom'a and others recommend. In St. Petersburg, HOW I of
   MM> All the best taki THE INTERNET ...

It is known from the mail zagnulas last stations of "Eldorado", 
tak that vicomm otdal ends. Not znayu,


   MM> Not VICCOM otdal ends, a uncle Usov. Viccom used
mainly for peredachi faylov each other (blago you can do
without ELDORADO).

whether C-Dos in Moscow svyazyvatsya with relcom'om.

   MM> Physically, C-DOS is not compatible with HAYES, tak that 
full connection will not work if no one zahochet sdelat server 
with C-DOS support;)



   ?> I would like to invite razvernut in Pine Forest prodazhu 
ibm. That is, ibm cover, a razvernut Amigu.


   MM> Not IBM (IBM is korporatsiya tak is HOW and XEROX), a PC.


   L> Why vas zainteresovala is Amiga?

   ?> Well, skazhem tak, I would like to see more detail. For 
the informatsii that I have a bag of Amiga # 1, I

zainteresovala sama sistema. And, chastnosti, mnogozadachnost.
I am impressed by the value for kachestva Amigi. Ha IBM, in 
principle,    MM> Really, how much will it cost to REALNO BRAND 
NAME World PC?


In principle, we can obtain seychas tezhe possible, but it is 
too big navorot required poluchaetsya expensive. 

   MM> Well, yes, dazhe expensive. I do not mean that consumer 
goods that valyaetsya everywhere ... In either a case of if 
there vas zhelanie zanyatsya nA PC than professionalno (VIDEO, 
AUDIO), then TA kitaychatina, which all zapolnenno for this 
slegka maloprigodna, a za more - less specific oborudovanie you 
zaplatite nemalye money (nA PC it will be more expensive than 
nA AMIGA). 


   L> A vas not pugayut problems with the soft'om?

   ?> On this occasion I also like pointeresovatsya. Naskolko I
znayu, so I generally go, stavlyu PC'shnye programmy, 
communications lazhu. AND I look - there are two kategorii 
polzovateley nashem in the city. Some - kommersanty - domashnie 
offices. They are in my opinion, nA Amigu not destroyed. Second 
- City of nas 

   MM> And do not nado, PC-ofisnaya mashina indeed.

dostatochno money and many of their children pokupayut 
machinery, mainly - IBM'ki, as a possible game mashiny. 

   MM> If we are very bogaty is best PSX, AMIGA ona not 
igrushka. AMIGA is klass machinery, nA are just toys 
poluchayutsya well. 


   L> Ie - Take a pentium, so igrat to TETRIS?

   ?> Pentium take to igrat in Doom. And maybe it will be for

   MM> Which dazhe nA PENTIUM dergaetsya (well not explain 
PCshnikam that znachit plavno!). 

This kategorii alternativny variant - Amiga. HOW as a possible
Gaming pristavki, tak, and as a possible Machinery for more - 
less serious raboty. Personally, I u

   MM> Ha AMIGA can delat anything. Besides AMIGA
slavna that nA it has a lot of other emulators
mashin. Blagodyarya so you can have a MAC, PC, ZX, MSX, C64 and 
AMIGA actually one flakone! Tak that, if at all pripret that 
Well, no kakoy something programki nA AMIGA (most likely you 
simply do not nashli naydete and later), we can take the 
desired emulator under which dannaya programka there and 
everything! 

rushki not igrayu and would like to see here for a soft raboty. 
I podpisan nA fido "RU.AMIGA" tam proskakivayut interesting 
things naschet communication, but not alive to see razu was not 
necessary. 


   MM> Ostavim communications and other black rabotu for the 
PC. Although raznye dialer, postal service nA AMIGA not 
troubled, but HOW and software for THE INTERNET.



The same person talking to Felix'om.


   ?> HOW do you feel about Amige?

   F> Well, danny moment I kazhetsya that IBM I need more.
Tak HOW Amiga, in the

   MM> A miserable at his soderzhaniyu:) Well, not ponimayut 
PCshniki, that they nA to desktop not IBM a PC!!! IBM is a 
firma! A PC is a slovosochetanie (PersonalComputer) which 
assotsiiruetsya (in normalnyh stranah) with platformami nA 
baze! NTEL compatible processors and system MS-?. 

konfiguratsii that there seychas-A1200-agashnaya me ustraivaet.
Tam has a lot of interesting things, it is very horoshaya 
mashina, but me naprimer need zanimatsya kachestvennoy pechatyu.


   MM> PAGESTREAM ...


   F> Something sreytresit quickly, a

   MM> LIGHTWAVE + kucha lotions which nA PC for a long time 
will not be if not dazhe skazat that their never will ... A 
naschet RAYTRACING, nA PC is no simple, fast and convenient 
paketov for 3D. (Felix was in his time with the A600 and 1mb 
2FDD, HOW much he nA her could see a good programm and how many 
of those in his programm rabotali? Toys rabotali all, nothing 
more than Felix did not treboval. Tak that the judge sami, on 
rassuzhdeniyah dannogo subekta about AMIGA.)


to nA Amige quickly reytresit aksel needed, it is already more 
expensive 

   MM> Minimalnaya konfiguratsiya for LIGHTWAVE4: PC 486, 16MB 
memory. AMIGA: lyubaya mashina with 16MB of memory is. 

poluchaetsya. And soft'a in danny currently not tak much for 
Amigi. 

   MM> Softa dostatochno, I can confidently skazat, tak HOW
sam favor raznye programmy for raznyh needs, and they pokryvayut
all my needs, and dazhe some of them are not used
completely ...


   ?> Want skazat that soft for her seychas not write?

   F> No, I write of course, it's just HOW is not razvito at 
nas. His 

   MM> What is razvito? Pisanie softa or piratstvo?

You can nayti, but it is very difficult,

   MM> Do not harder than the heap PCshnogo derma nayti what you
needed.

nado have acquaintances kakih something.

   MM> Batenka, yes nA PC without any acquaintances you have 
nothing besplatno not poimeesh! 


   ?> A HOW same from Moscow?

   F> Before nas reach crumbs. A PC'shny soft, he just razve nA
the road not valyaetsya.I za lifetime, with 92-Year period, the 
nas-to 93-th, Amiga prakticheski not


   MM> Whose life? And no nado stavit an example nashu 
impoverished otstaluyu stranu.


razvivalas, HOW dolzhna byla razvivatsya. Za PC is now very
strongly razvilsya. Ie,

   MM> Duc, because PC has a very long time to razvivatsya daby
achieve the blag already in 1985 were available polzovatelyam 
AMIGA. 

seychas nA PC can sdelat that ranshe never dreamed of, a 
possible was only nA Amige. PC seychas prakticheski reached 
capacity Amigi. 

   MM> To what he got? What it has changed since then
except the price and the new processors?


   ?> Yea, I zametil that navorochennaya PC Amigu overtake.

   MM> A much money you have hvatit? Naschet overtake, hardly, 
AMIGA yes, PC does not (going razgovor of fatty model).



   F> pass, and yes padaet Daily price. A Amiga, for some 
reason, not getting cheaper. 

   MM> Felix, no nado to be unsubstantiated, not seen, do not 
tell. After most PCshnikov AMIGA not really seen and it is not 
rabotali, a fact paltsy bend! Yes still arguing with 
Amizhnikami that znayut that takoe PC (because he nA Each time 
a corner valyaetsya). 


   ?> HOW pokazala my praktika, penitum padal dollarov nA 70 za
week.

   MM> brain - then, he has that from this speed pribavilos or
He prevratit wretched iron PC into a full comp?


   F> Seychaas navorochenny PC can take baksov za $ 600.

   ?> $ 700.

   MM> laughing at? What did he navorochenny? ! Ntel Pentium 
70Mhz 8MB 640HD 15dyuymov sVGA, SB. It's minimalnaya 
konfiguratsiya! 


   F> Amigu, navorochennuyu, za takie not take money, a medium

   MM> Poka not take, though the prices opuskayutsya. Yes and 
minimalnaya konfiguratsiya will A1200 Magic ($ 520) and HDD ...


user'u, in principle, all ravno what's inside. They are, in most
its not zanyut it takoe.

   MM> So igrayut nA DENDY. And pokupayut PC, just because
it pokupaet other takoy same user, which saw HOW pokupaet
kakoy some other user, etc. (Generally the yuzerami nado stat. 
Ha DENDY this can not occur, respectively pokupayut not usery

a lamery ...)....


   ?> Yea, malo informatsii. But, perhaps in connection with 
the breakthrough Amigi with Moscow rynka nA St. Petersburg, 
situatsiya change? 

   F> Quite possibly. But I nedavno spoke with a man trading 
soft'om nA market, and he said that nas Amiga razvedena more 
than in Moscow. In Moscow, most people simply do not 
predstavlyayut it za mashina. 

   MM> Most people do not strane znayut that in addition to PC
there are still some kakie computers! A pro Moscow skazhu one 
thing: I zaviduyu green zavistyu fact HOW tam postavleno deal 
with the AMIGA. Vesma gramotnye Group programmistov, artists 
and muzykantov (Hello to all of LOOKER HOUSE), a huge number of 
BBS (AMIGA), and a large number of companies selling AMIGA and 
related tovarami. Although the takom large number of firms, not 
tovar zalezhivaetsya, razletaetsya with a whistle! 


   F> U nas - more - less znayut. U nas byla vypuschena knizhka
Amiga # 1.

   MM> Knizhka not pokazatel, kogda here in the city will be 
though, would odna prilichnaya gruppa kotoraya zanimatsya will 
only support AMIGA, (I do not mean speculation) and kogda eta 
gruppa will delat Something ustupayuschee best zapadnym 
produktam: here you can only togda skazat that Peter is better 
to Amiga than in Moscow. Poka all naoborot ...



   F> But poka and nas is a PC. If eta mashina crawl, tochneeee 
drawn, it will be prekrasnaya 

   MM> PC has been pulled out.

mashina for Houses.

   MM> Only LOW_END konfiguratsii (A1200 030) can schitat
domashney mashinoy. Although the Houses and will look great 
with A4000T 060.



   ? + Y PC kucha ogranicheny.

   F> Y PC ogranicheny nemeryano.Eto generally very glyuchnaya 
mashina. 

   MM> something worthwhile in poslyshalos samom end of the 
conversation ... :) 


   ?> You razrabotchik?

   F> I zanimayus software pravda for Spektruma. Ha PC just 
delat nothing. Tam firm soft write. Yes and nA AMIGA too.


   MM> What can delat nayti vsegda, byla to golova nA place and
grew out of the hands pravilnogo CAREERS ...
