I'll tell you why...

WHAT THE HELL DO I DO WITH A 1000 MEG DISK!?!?!?

It would never leave the drive, because I'd have only ONE. UNO. A single disk.

I own a SyQuest/80, and I'm perfectly happy with its storage. Over the last 
year-and-a-bit, I've only been able to amass 4 cartridges - 1 of which is blank,
and another which is purely backups, so really 2 cartridges, worth of data.

Of course, this is more than partly because STUPID Amiga developers don't know
how to make hard-drive-installable games, even in 1993!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<<FUME>>

Tapes suck. They're slower than my SyQuest, sometimes, and you can't USE them.

Nahh. Eventually, the universal standard for all data (I'm talking music, 
movies, computer data, EVERYTHING...) will be the 2" rewritable CD. I'll be
happy then. Until that day comes, the SyQuest and other 20-200 meg storage
devices are FINE.

   The 1960 will do Productivity just fine (though Productivity-Interlaced has a
tad of a flicker - perhaps my deinterlacer needs some fine tuning). The 1960,
IMHO, is an "okay" monitor. I almost went with the NEC Multisync 4FG, but opted
out for a less-expensive alternative. I think my next monitor will be that. 
   If you have the extra $300 or so to get the NEC 4FG, do it. I'd only really 
recommend the 1960 if you're on a budget.

It is definitely and engraved-in-stone sure that Sierra is dropping the Amiga.

Well, I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I'll ask this:  What
happens if you open a 256-color GIF on the OS/2 screen?  The colors
for the whole screen change.  Not exactly cool when you're trying to
be productive with more than one program.  Stick that program on its
own screen so it doesn't interfere with you.

Right, but there's nothing preventing a nasty application from bypassing

much more difficult (if at all possible) to write such an application.

Subject: HELP--AMIGA OR IBM PC CLONE?
Organization: Space Telescope Science Institute
Distribution: na
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1992 17:36:32 GMT



To all people who know about both IBM PC's/CLONES AND AMIGA COMPUTERS:

I am a person who presently owns a PC clone (386SX machine, VGA, 120 HD).
In the years to come, I plan to purchase another system, one with more
expandibility, power, and features.  I decided early on to consider only
PC clones, Macs, and Amigas.  First off, I decided that Macs are too expensive
for me, so now the battle is between a PC clone and an Amiga.  I do a lot
of writing and word processing, a little games playing, a lot of raw number
crunching, and I'm now getting into (dabbling only) image processing and
ray-traced computer art.

I want a big hard drive (say at least 120 MB), a HD floppy drive, an onboard
modem, a mouse, a keyboard, a nice monitor (at least 14", but if I had the
money I'd like a larger one), and a powerful CPU.  I know IBM PC's fairly
well, so here are my chief concerns:

1) How would, say, an Amiga with a 68040 compare in raw number crunching power
   to the same speed (MHz) 486 DX system?

2) Can Amigas take things like 20" monitors with video cards that permit very
   large graphics modes (like 1200-or-so pixels square)?

3) How easy is the Amiga to program yourself?  Are there REALLY GOOD
   optimizing compilers available at reasonable cost, such as FORTRAN,
   C, and BASIC?

4) I've seen the wonderful graphics screens that Amigas can generate.  How
   expensive are grahics packages to really use the Amiga to its advantage?
   They are quite expensive for IBM clones (really GOOD software).

5) One BIG pain I've had with PC programming is in FORTRAN and BASIC, where
   the amount of memory I can use is limited.  For example, the FORTRAN I
   have only lets you access 640K of memory!  Even if you had 20 MB!  How
   does this work with an Amiga, i.e., if you have 10MB of RAM, can you
   trivially use all 10MB at once (minus the memory used for the operating
   system, of course) for declaring arrays, etc?  This is very important to
   me.

Thanks in advance,

Scott in Baltimore,MD

Well, I'm pretty fortunate, my dealer is about 3 miles away.  Its sort of
a mom & pop operation.  Quite humerous really.  The owner looks very
well-to-do, however, he never talks.  Talking to him is like pulling
teeth.  The technician, on the other hand (who never shuts up), hasnt
bathed for who knows how many days, has long, stringy, uncombed hair,
shirt half-tucked in, and the obligatory jeans half way down his rear with
no underwear.  To top it off, they operate out of the back of a house.  I
have a hard time bringing my pc friends in there to impress them.

To address the issue of not opening the top.  I think its a joke.  I work
with pc hardware every day, installing cards, hard drives, memory,
replacing motherboards, blah blah blah.  Then I find out I'm not allowed
to install a meg of ram in my 2000?  Hmmmmmmm.

    Then why did you attack my statement about the quality of Windows
    as an OS? This is about worthwhile PC OSes that have consistent
    user interfaces across their applications, remember. Part of a
    discussion on the relative quality of OSes because someone implied
    the Amiga screen system was inferior because it encouraged non-

	Buzz!!!  But thank you for playing!  :-)  I was flipping through a
DEC rag just a few weeks ago and there are companies promising to release
ALPHA based machines (running NT...  :-P  ) in '93 for less than $5000.  I
know the initial developer ALPHAs were quite expensive, but DEC has to drop
the price of ALPHA to a level where it can compete vs. HP and Motorola
processors.  Basicly, it's a buyers market.

Yep, I guess I didn't just survive a semester of Grad CS in which I used my
measly 8 bit 6809 system with a lousy 512k of RAM to write a network simulator
, a number of architecture simulations including a full microcoded CPU and
IEEE 754 pipelined vector instructions, and am working on an epson bitmap
interpreter.  In addition, I wrote ~50 pages worth of programming languages
response papers.  Gee I must not have done anything useful Paul...

If you are sarcastically impaired; You are a stupid twit, for the above
"useful" statement...
