	... the Falcon beats the 1200.  No, really, these important features
of the Falcon always seem to get 'brushed off' by Amigoids when comparing
the two machines.  Imagine how much it would cost to add most of these
features to the 1200 (and then prey that 3rd party software vendors support
your add-ons).  In fact, most of these can't even be found on the 4000.


	10. MIDI

	9. Local Talk

	8. CD Codec

	7. DSP

	6. SCSI 2 (even just SCSI would be nice, don't you know that the
	   entertainment/multimedia industries are getting into CD-ROM)

	5. Built in power supply. (a brick again?  jeeez!)

	4. 16 MHz Blitter

	3. Stereo Microphone port built in

	2. 1.4 Meg Floppy (you might be able to add one to the 1200 but

That's right.  You don't need expansion slots on a computer that you can't

Me too. I ordered an A1200 and it arrived t'other day. There has been some
speculation on here about C= packaging the machine with a HD. Well, the box
I got had checkboxes printed on the side to be ticked for:
* No HD (mine)
* 20Mb
* 40Mb
* 60Mb
...
* Up to about 120Mb (I think)

This could be just C= covering themselves for whatever configuration they
decide to release in future, but it opens up the intriguing possibility of
ordering A1200s to your own specification from the dealer. Some dealers
here are already selling the A600 with higher capacity HDs pre-installed
(I think 60Mb and 120Mb are most common).

These were terrific games from Muse. It just shows you how little
Wolfenstein 3D scores in the originality department. There was in fact an
Amiga game called "Into the Eagles' Nest" which was quite similar to these.
Nicely done, but none of the 'Achtung!' speech synthesis :).

Subject: To Amiga or not to Amiga
Date: 9 Nov 92 22:38:09 GMT

Okay, here's the deal.  I'm an electrical engineering student and I
currently own a 386-40mhz PC.  Before I got the PC I had an Amiga 500, and
I really liked using it, but my dad insisted that I dump it and get a PC
so it would be more compatible (which it is).  Well, using the PC is
okay, but the introduction of the Amiga 4000 has caught my attention.
From what I've heard of it, it seems like a killer 'puter.  Basically what
I'm asking is, what kind of software support could one expect for a new
generation machine like the Amiga 4000?  If it isn't going to be any
better than it has in the past, I might as well keep the 386 and wait
for PowerPC to come out.  Lack of software support is the only reason
I got rid of my A500; there aren't any programs for the Amiga right now that
can compare to ones of the likes of Word for Windows 2.0, Excel 4.0, or
Mathcad (or Mathematica).  Is it likely that programs of this caliber will
be written for the Amiga, or will it remain an "alternative" computer?

Well, Paula, I didn't intend my first post as a flame or anything.  This
one, however, I'm not so sure about.  To avoid a useful skill for the purpose
of evading a stereotype is pretty weak-kneed in my opinion.  If I followed
that same philosophy I'd still be in the cowfields picking my nose and
wondering what the big deal about shoes was, anyway -- or maybe working
on a healthy case of black lung in a coal mine.  I don't know... if I
let someone elses stereotype rule my life like that I think I'd shoot myself.

Do yourself a favor... learn this very useful skill of typing and learn to
organize your posts in a coherent fashion and you might actually get positive
results from it.  People tend to READ posts that are readable vice looking
like a botched uuencoded program.

Perfect typing is for machines.  Readable typing is for the sole purpose of
moving ideas from point A to another.  I assure you, I don't look anything
like a Stepford Wife, but I did recognize that taking typing class in high
school would be useful -- even at the foolish age of 16.

*sigh* sure wish my email to you didn't bounce -- that's where this belongs.

Yep, this is true.  When you decide that computers are not an end in
themselves, you buy a PC.  When you realize that what you really need is an
office automation tool, something as dull and reliable as a typewriter or a
copier or a fax machine or a rolodex, you buy a PC.  When it becomes
important to you to be able to choose from thousands of business
applications because it's business that puts the food on your plate rather
than the ability to show off some cool demos, you join the ranks of those 
who have bought those infamously boring 95 million PCs.

Thanks for clearing that up.

To some extent, that is TRUE.

However, the A3000 is superior to the A4000 in only the most silly of 
comparisons. While it is true that a 68030-expanded A2000 can run MUCH more
software than the A3000, the switch from 68030 to 68040 creates very few
compatibility problems...

Then there are lots of other self-defence tactics that are less lethal.

The A4000 series has a CPU module, so a 68040/28Mhz is not the only flavor

Have no idea of the accuracy, but an un-named (large retail chain) source
just told me that they'd have A1200's for $599 and $799 sometime before
Christmas. The $799 price is for an A1200HD version, but he didn't say
what size the drive would be. Heck, didn't the A500 start out selling at
about that price?

The only thing the A1200 and 4000 need now in my opinion is 31.5Khz or
greater video rates! I've been on a quest to find other (non-1950/60)
multiscan monitors that sync that low and have come up dry. I feel that
it's an absolute must that something be done about this soon. Whoever
is OEM'ing the 1960 is bound to change models to one that doesn't support
15.57Khz and where will we be then? Commodore better either solve the 
problem soon or buy up a large warehouse of 1960's. 

Yeah I know 31.5Khz can be used, but from what I've read the boot menu
is 15.75Khz, and that's sort of useful now and then... There needs to
be a 4320 video de-interlacer card soon!
