What we choose?
After last month of August in
Peter hangouts under the enigmatic title
Enlight, sharply aggravate the dispute between
adherents platforms PC - Amiga about the benefits of their
favorites. Disputes these alone are meaningless, that the vast
majority have never seen Amiga computers and can not judge
these things objectively. I worked on the PC, and Amiga, and
made some conclusions. I suggest them to you, do not claim to
ultimate truth.
Benefits of PC:
1.Nalichie strong policy support;
2.Bolshoe of the periphery;
3.Vysokaya processor;
4.Bolshoy range of different PC models for
different applications;
Disadvantages PC:
1.Slishkom big (literally)
program because of the use of languages
High-level features of the OS;
2.Sravnitelno low quality;
3.Plohaya compatible hardware;
4. "Oak" operating system, MSDOS,
pushed far from its preceding
ots CP / M;
5.Esche more "Oak" system WINDOWS'95
6.Ochen large requests for resources,
ie need a lot of MB, a lot Mhz;
7.Zapusk multiple programs simultaneously
but (multitasking) is problematic from
the constant system crashes and conflicts
that the programs themselves, as a consequence of Nep
rodumannosti system itself;
8.Zaputannost and complexity of the system for
user, remote user
of concepts such as: memory (not explained
eat memory), driver, data, and, ultimately,
from an elementary understanding of the principles
the PC (ie from the user to do
fool, hence the term "kettle").
Explanation: The term "system" here
means the combination of systemic
entry-level program (DOS, BIOS ..) and
Shell WINDOWS.
Benefits Amiga:
1.Nalichie small but extremely
effective and convenient software (in this
Item Amiga, probably does not con
kurentov at all);
2.Prakticheski 100% compatibility of all
models for hardware;
3.Nalichie even in a minimal configuration
tion of all necessary for normal
of components and devices;
4.Ochen high performance
working with graphics and sound, without
any problems, because all actions satisfied
nyayut coprocessors in DMA-mode;
5.Sovershenno unique in all the characteristics
teristics multitasking system.
(Note: I ran simultaneously on
dozens of programs and operated without any
discomfort even on the Amiga 500.)
6.Prekrasnaya operating system, not
Unmatched performance and
flexibility. It is easy to connect any
drivers for external devices or
communication programs with each other. All
programs use standard libraries
Library is stored on the disk and access
nye through the OS, it should be easy
programming, "neglyuchnost and ma
ly the size of the resulting software code. Bible
edema is constantly being improved without
loss of compatibility.
Comment: You do not have to think
on the problems of transferring data between PCs, you can
simply insert into the floppy disk from a PC or a ZX Spectrum
and pa Bot directly to him, without copying to another
device. You can even invent your
format disc or hard drive.
This is a must see!
Disadvantages Amiga:
1.Net powerful accounting software;
2.Nebolshaya prevalence in Russia
and CIS (?)
Afterword
After two years of use
Amiga I have completely changed the representation of such
things as ease of use and capabilities of modern PCs.
If you want to understand all the charm
Amiga, then try to work with the program Directory Opus (great
example Modern Amiga software) and you will understand
which is which.
P.S. Your name please do not specify the settlement
Kolka did not want to become the object of our
Meshack by PC'shnikov that does not
means of my contempt for him. But
I just feel sorry for them, because they live
in its ordinary and limited
the world under the name of your PC, and in most
space its not even know, and not
want to know about something beyond the
limits the average closed
nutogo circle.
Please - do not tie the discussions in
e-journals with a reference
