You're probably right. When all these tales about the coming Amiga
chip sets are true, then Amiga will only compete with SGI and those
chaps.

Sad future for PCs, indeed :-).

I just want to know how many PC Clones there are in the world,
broken down by country if possible.

For comparison there are between 4 and 5 million Amigas at the
moment. I expect the A1200 to change the picture of home
computing radically, but would like to know what the PC
'inertia' is.

Numbers only please. No comments about the quality of the
machines themselves.

we've already seen graphics and it takes much more than just graphics to make

Ivan Pintori was asking after market research about Amiga owners -- only
have I never heard of any being done, but the big US computer industry
market research companies BISCAP and IDC DON'T EVEN INCLUDE COMMODORE IN
THEIR COMPUTER MANUFACTURER SEGMENTATIONS!!!!!!! They don't even -list-
Commodore among the companies whose products they identify as being present
in the US market as other than "other."  

The other thing, is that studies cost time and effort, which translates
into paying someone to do the research.  It's not that easy to do, either
-- like "try to find THE Amiga user in the county, try to find in the few
hundred thousand Amiga users in the US hiding among the tens of millions of

By my understanding that is perfectly possible.  Yet you will need a
word processor that can handle the datatypes.library and then the word
processor will not be completely compatible with lower os's.
Ie the functions of word support and etc.  So they aren't likely to do this.
Decides Wordworth 2 does all that other documents now without datatypes.

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think that is one of the keys to the success of the RISC processors.  It is
not so much that RISC is inherently better, but that key bottlenecks in CISC
processors can be traced back at least 20 years!  Much of the underlying design
of CISC processors can be traced back to the mid 1950s!!!

Even RISC is not a panacea.  It only solves about 5% of the problems that were
identified when IBM started development of RISC technology back in the 1970s.
In the next few years, there will probably be another generation of processors
take hold that solves a few more of the problems.  By the time that happens,
RISC and CISC will be indistinguishable, however.  We can already see many of 
the techniques and features of each crossing over.

2) Wow, that WB 2.0 looks AWFUL.  Granted, I haven't actually used it, but

that does it.  Really, it hardly looks any better than the mouse-interface

But in the end, WPS is not a lot more functional than Workbench 2.0 (and
yes, I have used both extensively).

No one has yet solved the schism that exists in OS/2 between the GUI and
the file system. Windows does it by treating the file system as a separate
entity, and making the Program Manager just a launching pad for applications.
Workbench doesn't really distinguish between the two, and to my mind,
I'm the most confortable with it. At least its clear under WB when you
delete an icon, you're deleting the application. Under OS/2 or Windows
you're not deleting the application, you're deleting the icon. Since WPS
tries to hide so much of the underlying complexity, it only suceeds in
confusing everyone when something goes wrong (for proof, I offer the
great amount of messages in every OS/2 network and newsgroup that says
something like "I accidentally deleted icon "X", and now I have no way
of geting it back"). Having "shadows" in the WPS is a neat idea, but
I'm not so sure it makes it easier to use.  I find the WPS "object"
design interesting, but incomplete.

WB2.0 is not WPS, its not X-Windows, its not Finder, its not any of those
things. For everyday applications none of them are "The Final Solution".
They are all variations of the same design, and they all have the same
weaknesses.

	ChangeVPBitMap is the low level graphics routine. ChangeScreenBuffer is a

It kills me, though, that a decent PC sound card costs more than an
entire Super Nintendo video game system.  And the latter comes with
a controller, CPU, power supply, graphics better than VGA standard
including multiple playfields and sprites and background scaling
and rotation.  Oh, and a sound chip which is _at_least_ of the same
qualtity as the SBPro.
