Amiga rulez? - if you have never seen a “live” AMIGA, imagine a computer no larger than an ordinary BK-shki that connects to any TV and has IBM capabilities!

 So, let me congratulate you, dear
readers.  You and I have crossed the threshold of
wow, 1997. Let's take a look back
around and see what happened
fifteen years of our existence with you
beloved ZX-SPECTRUM.                   
                                          
                                          
 And the following happened... We live in an age
great computer revolution! In each
8th the family has a personal computer,
every 16th family knows how to work on it
steal, not play, and in every 256th family
there is a person who understands that
widespread introduction ofIBM-compatible ma-
tires will not lead to good. If at the same time
take into account that the average composition of modern
family is 3.141 people, it turns out that
only every 804th asks the question: "Why IBM?"        
Many people don’t even imagine the possibility
existence of other PC platforms. Often
in people's conversations you can hear: "A y
you (you) DENDY or the computer?!" Usually
in this issue the emphasis is on the latter
her word and by computer mean,
Yes, what do they mean there, they understand exactly
IBM.  I won't try to explain here
the fact that SPECTRUM, as well as no matter how
regrettably, BK-0010, MIKROSHA, APOPEIA, RADIO -
RK86, etc. , are also computers and
although homely, but nevertheless, no less
personal.  Let's bet on one

product of their time, two representatives
completely different ideologies:

                    and

I ask you to read this article to the end,
or at least until the middle. There will be a lot of fun

So, let's start with the fact that most of
our readers have never lived under the present
true "communism".  In the word "communism" I
I call what was happening in our country with
37th to 85th year of our century. B
this historical period was everything and everything
the same! People read the same books
watched the same films, wrote similar ones
essays at school, but the worst thing is
thought the same!  The few who saw
the whole depth of the situation and tried somehow
explain  the whole insanity of the process to your neighbors,
were at best expelled and betrayed
oblivion.

Even in the rotten West, things are not so bad -
hee. Just watch THEIR films. Yes, yes,
it is in films that you can see the real
state of affairs. And often in the background
you will see not the familiar PENTIUM-166.6, but
simple and kind - MAC.                   
                                          
                                          
When will you try to talk to the law?

Or here's the most killer phrase you can
hear from IBM-man about MACs:  
                                          
                                          
"Naturally, the graphics on APPLE are cooler,
it was immediately designed to work with

I'm sure!                                   
                                          
But let's leave both MAC and IBM, and turn ours
glances at the good little computer
called (COMMODORE) AMIGA.          
                                          
Here we cannot do without words from the last
album "Master Da-Doo-Dy":             
                                          
   "Some scold, others shake....."    
                                          
Even if you have never seen "live"
AMIGA,just imagine a computer
no larger than a regular BC-shki, which
connects to any monitor and TV
ru and has capabilities comparable to IBM.I
fundamentally I don’t say whichAMIGAand with
which IBM'om, because you can compare
not all at once, but separately. Other DEMO
on the A600 in terms of dynamics and sound will give fo-
ru demos with ASSEMBLY'97, not calculatedneither-
the same as on "professional stump" (PENTIUM
Pro).                                     
                                          
And don’t you think that if you compare
just “hardware” on which programs run
frames PC and AMIGA, then we can come to the conclusion
prudent conclusions. One of the first questions

a very knowledgeable person in computers:
"And how many megahertz and

And it turns out that there is not enough memory at all, it’s just
it must be valued and not wasted
in and to the left. Moreover, with such memory and
compact program code, on AMIGA you can
calmly run this or that program with
floppy disks                                   
                                          
Think about it - run from WINDOWS floppy disks !!?
                                          
In the end, the person who today

It's about SPECTRUM. But on AMIGA everything is different -

IBM  suppresses the desire for creativity, while
time as AMIGA this desire awakens and
strengthens.

"burning" it five days later (a man with pa-

climbed inside the board), is now in a state of shock

spent in AMIGA a few days, searching

I don’t know exactly why, but currently
ment I really want to say the following:
"All PC users, and especially all
those who promote this computer as
as the bestgaming/home/demo machines,
they all mustdie! "

(the only exception is women, in
features are those that are girls,
children under #10, insane subjects, accountants
ters, people who were given an IBM PC as a gift or written off -
whether from work parents and all those students who
who simply cannot do without this
stupid machine due to its narrow specialization
tions of their universities.)

Well, maybe the quality of the final ac-
cord.  I'll come up with a translation of the epigraph to this
article. made by STYLUS on the same
"big blue calculator - IBM PC."  
                                          
                                          
What I had in mind. you'll guess         
                                without difficulty!

P.S.  In this article, I mentioned AMIGA more often
600 than AMIGA 1200 or A4000. This happened
walks not because I don’t know about the creature
vani of these more progressive models, or
because Samara is a big village,
where only A600s “graze”!  Just 600th
AMIGA, just like the 600th Mercedes, is
classic, and it is with this model that I am more
familiar.  As for the title of the article itself,
which may seem pro-IBM, then
everything is simple here! With this name I wanted to
lure people whose brains are affected by IBM before
marrow of bones. And when they finish reading to se-
and they will realize that something is wrong here,
it will be too late!                      
                                          
                                          
I hope this meaningless set of words is
could make someone the right choice in
regarding the new platform.                
                                          
                                          
P.P.S. I apologize for my writing style-
niya in the style of me. Just write differently
I can’t and this is in no way a mistake,
not corrected by the editor-in-chief.            
                                          
(In the last sentence "not" uses -
three times and this is far from the limit.)
