              Platform ...
_


          The hardware strengths of the

       Commodore (R) Amiga (R) family of

       personal computers make the Amiga

       the computer platform of choice

       for video, multimedia, 3-D model
       ling, animation, and other gra
       phics - intensive applications.

       The Amiga 1200 line features

       sophisticated standard graphics

       capabilities and a compact,

       expandable base unit for maximum

       flexibility.

         I purchased the A1200!!!


  Now we will check all its
rulez'nost ...


  I took it from a friend for quite a normal price, but without 
FDD / HDD / b / n. And the first time confronted with a problem:

screw, taken by me popolzovavshis, 40
MB working on another on my A1200 does not
met: (but as PC'shny flop
(Without modifications) does not want to run,
although "there is a" system. But my
mouse with ZX came up one by one.


  Screw work, too "old," he
turned out to be - long passed the test, and the complex
it at that time to start trying.
Now this problem because no I
I got me a cog Pobol - 850 MB.


  Clearly the case that if there is information
in the form of two books, "User Guide" and "Amiga
WorkBench ", and even those on english'e and heaps of 
screaming" AMiGA - RULEZ "I got into their "nest egg" in the 
form of various magazines and newspapers ... and did not find 
anything there except for transshipments through this 
ruleznosti and reprinting of "FAQ: Amiga - often Asked 
Questions ", while she stands on my desk and I do not know from 
what side to approach her. And the questions - very much. At 
the same time of FAQ suitable only as information for the 
general intellectual development;) 

  Coming before the friends I've seen
easy to run different applets and
demos included. After working for 1.5 years
"Specialist in office equipment," I learned enough PCs. But 
left alone with the Amiga I still get lost and keep losing the 
second week 8) 

  At the level of teams is very much smacks of UNIX, although 
superficially very MD'9h similar to the WorkBench. I, again, as 
it is not easier. 

  Still want to add that the "whole system"
I copied a friend's, who is PowerPC 200, ie, on my "naked"
Amiga, many programs do not work, and
issue "error in library ..." and "out of
memory ". I will now look axel, yes
cheaper:) And to put yourself old software
reluctance on the acquisition of 68,030 again
all too lazy to reconfigure;)

  Anticipating some of the issues at the expense of
software - so it packs in Krasnodar on
At least 40 pieces of CD's will be.
Personally, I myself saw half a dozen, even
this is enough for the first time "in his throat!
I'm now on the screw are demos for
December 98g. " And I have found a binder el.zhurnalov, most 
recently which is dated "20-27 january 1999

year "!!! in English of course ...
And if I-Net'a - it is generally a bottomless pit ...


  You may ask - why am I still
decided to purchase the Amiga, not IBM?
To begin with - the price for which I bought it. But we must 
not sarcastic comments, I two-year deal in the market, could 
for the same price and buy the PC - there is very many 
"accessories" on the cheap "go" (eg stolen). And secondly, with 
PC I'm very bad sign, have access to Net'u etc. Well, I'll buy 
386/486, further is P-xx, then P-xxx - Money Money

money ... that is, all already well-trodden
path is known in advance, at least some
diversity. As the saying goes: I wanted to -
then received.

  Someday, I hope I am able to say: "AMiGA - Rulez!", But for 
now, what else too early ...



P.S. Yesterday Joker suggested: Take a beer,
"Screw" and dui me! :)

P.P.S. Joker is not the Kharkov and Krasnodar! Though so I'm 
also in Sochi beer saws. :))
