Deja Vu #05 31 мая 1998

Hall of Fame - Is this the rulez Amiga? HRC for ptsshnikov and Spectrum for spektrumistov?

 Di-All'u and all pisishnikam dedicated ...


   The idea to write this article came to me after reading DEJA 
VU # 4, and after a personal acquaintance with the author of 
the article that dealt with the protection of pC and a small 
arrival on the AMIGA. I beg your Di-All'a forgive me for what 
will be discussed below (I tried to tell him, but as always I

did not listen and insisted I was too lazy and
etc., in general, each remained at its
opinion). In general, in connection with the latest 
fermentation people can say one thing - USER yuzay that car, 
which you do IS. This does not mean that we should not seek

for more, it just means that we should not
ashamed of yourself, your computer and do what the other thing 
which you have the machine. Frankly, all comparisons PC and 
AMIGA, pC and SPECCY, pC and the MAC is not correct - it is

COMPLETELY different cars. They can be compared only among 
themselves, ie A1200 steeper than the A500, Pentagon somewhat 
rulezney Scorp'a and second degree unambiguously better than 
XT. We now turn to the article Di-All'a. I I do not know where 
he dug up some information on the AMIGA, but to put it mildly, 
they are not quite right, or rather, it is not true. Million 
operations per second? Sounds like something is not very 
similar to the truth. Our old Z80 good about one million (986 
or something so I could not find the book) and it

at 3.5 MHz for A1200 standard put
MC68020, and he has a frequency range from 12,5
up to 33.33 MHz, as can be seen, a million here and not
smells. Well it is, to the word. What can I
tell everyone without exception pC'ishnikam who do not see 
anything except his pisyuka and shouting at all angles, that 
the rest masday or, at best, agree that mol, AMIGA was a good 
computer, but it's all in the past. Guys, you're wrong, and I

wrong, since which time the whole market. There is no best or 
worst of computers - there are others. I remembered now one

anecdote:

   Students ask his teacher.
- Teacher, is it true that the DAO is in any
program?
- True. - Responsible teacher.
- And in pornoigrah?
- Yes, and pornoigrah.
- And in a program for calculator?
- And in her.
- And MS-DOS?

   The teacher sighed heavily and said nothing.

   Smoke without fire. So think. But as they say, everything is 
decided by money and in the case of the PC solved all the 
money. As we all known, the average American buys something

that advertise. As you know, in
While in the states of major office machines are systems based 
on eight-processor (i8080 and Z80) and correctly advertising 
campaigns allowed PC to climb onto the stage. But frankly, if

Lotus would not released its 1-2-3, then perhaps we would now 
have a completely different picture. The development of PC, as 
the computer for home, started somewhere in the 90 - 91, 
precisely at the time there was nasyshenie korparativnogo 
market, as home was, so to speak, early development. In Europe, 
slow fading SPECCY (last branded Games

dated 92nd year), the Commodore was
some difficulties and visionary leadership. Rosiya opened the 
Iron Curtain, and it is not without a bribe a certain official

face flooded pisyuki (by the way, they buy
primarily for office). In states with
Apple also had some of his problems, the situation was very 
favorable and this is somehow suddenly, we got what we got. In 
the first place, strongly raised the status of pC'i gamers and 
friends, wishing for this earn. All the "professional" program 
gained strength just now excessively bloated. All the gadgets, 
which are Now there is in pC office nafig not needed.

I can cite an example from life. I've got
on the work of women accountant, no longer young, but the 
computer is running. So, it is not very fond of WORD and Write, 
but not shitty works in the lexicon. Why, you ask, yes because 
she was more comfortable there. All Baubles Word'a it does not 
need. And if someone is too clever not say that dosovskaya 
Version 1C worse and uncomfortable than of windows, it would 
still be yuzala at three rubles old dosovskie bend. Why am I 
lead, and to what will be on any AMIGO steeper than pisi, 
because it was one of the first multimedia computers. And 
pisishnikam cost would not find fault AMIGA, MAC, NeXT, and 
Monument to put them. Since its on pisi very little. Di-All 
said, as he cool multitasking works and something

vaguely talking about multi-tasking in
AMIGA. What can I say, just answer
in his own words: "to judge a
machine, it is necessary for it to work, "not to look biased 
for five minutes at a Amigu S0N'a. Now on demam. So what that 
their 3000, this is nothing said. Pisishnye

demos 97-98 years ago on Amiga 92-94
year. And pisishnaya deme can be run at will (....). And as
demos of 128 bytes, then please - it is not
problem. Those demos that I've seen (meaning that size) were 
variations on AGA'shnoy plasma. The principle is very

simple: Throws to screen some
garbage, and then change cyclically palette
That's it. So there is nothing to be proud.
The main arrival on the Amiga from pisishnikov lies in the fact 
that it has no 3D GAME, and those that have, brakes and 
generally not on DOOM similar. Well they can say bad

look - this time. Look at yourself -
- That's two. (Doom real 3d, well, well!) What
You can tell if any item. Tide Effects
in real time to get pisi
with the help of 3D-accelerators. These effects can be obtained 
without the accelerator (for example, The Reap and still can 
not remember what, but look for links laziness), by software 
means. Just to on the development Amigi. Take propisishny 
Journal Computerra # 20 for 05/20/1998 and 10 pages see a 
message about overcoming the crisis by AMIGA and that is close 
to developing a new version of the system and a new car under 
it. In fact, this journal should be possible to read regularly 
as pisishnikam and everything else it comes across sometimes 
the good stuff (So, in a room dedicated to the share-war'nym

products, there was mention of a certain processor, which is 
steeper than that of Photoshop and how it characteristic of the 
variety of programs, smaller and less resource demanding. 
There's a lot more then can be useful nakovyryat. Thus, there 
is very well covered topic of computers brand

name. Probably everyone knows what to Brandom
"Left" parts do not fit. This is one of
strategies of firms, they are much more profitable to
you bought a new computer Zamesto old
and not engaged in modernization. Since at
development of new models of money spent,
and they need to return until the model is not outdated,
as it happens, oh, how soon. To guarantee that allegedly has 
been investigated by the presence of loud name on the body .... 
Have you heard this word OEM-Partner? This is when a product no 
one known firn proudly flaunts the name of an IBM or HP, or 
whatever else. Practice OEM - Partnership is very widespread. 
So pay the extra bucks only name I do not intend to. By buying, 
say, a car assembly red, I know at I was going, but I also know 
that I can always its upgrade. I'm not the enemy of progress, 
but I am opposed to such progress. Just a few months ago was 
P166MMX enough for home use, and

P200MMX now - this is a minimum and completely packed the 
second degree is already possible to find commercials for 
5000-7000 rubles. wood (recently seen an average Ager'ovsky 
complex configurations, that is nothing but the body was not 
steep, so is the parasite 12 million old !!!). Actually, now 
I'm watching very interesting picture (at least

in the Kemerovo): a wave of sales of older
computers (for pisyukovym old standards).
Thus, MM P120 can be taken for 3200 rub. And
or less. A similar picture I saw in the
Rybinsk spring and summer of 1997, although there
it had all DANDY and other similar
nonsense. What does this mean? The fact that all
played enough and what to do next is
do not know. Just play and you can debilki
on consoles, but for something serious, many people simply do 
not have tyamu. Affairs firm in his car takes a little.

What do you tell a friend or not, people when they ask why you 
at home computer? What would be? Of course, the same answer,

but that's true whether you think so. Many
people are rational, they will not ask you
Why do you need a TV, picture or any of
well-established household items, but the question
"Why" you should always, if they know
that you have something that is not included in the usual range 
of subjects. Many computers perceived as a toy and they fit

From this point of view. And the computer for you? When you 
decide this question, you for yourself can easily decide which

computer you need. And there will be fluctuations
with a choice that is steeper pC - MAC or AMMY.
Try to feel your computer.
Though this is just piece of iron, but each
its donors. My Pentagon does not like
when I'm nervous or angry (including
upon him), he starts without any apparent
reasons fail. And in defense of their theories and
ideas, give a simple example. Recently released
disk (pisishny) titled "The World of Alice"
Well, all graphics was done there on MAC'e,
is one example. In the French city
Bourges studios used in NeXT, a second example. As you can 
imagine, a recording studio does not quite poor establishment 
and, if them it was necessary, they would already

NeXT'y replaced by something else (especially since they are no 
longer manufactured). I hope you will think about what you do 
next. But the life of any person change, if it worked with a 
computer deeper than the usual user ...

P.S. Please do not take offense at me, from this
My opinion does not change.

P.P.S. Remember SPECCY, he's alive!
