Probably none Spectrum
magazine, where at least once not abused PC.
Amizhniki scold PC and praise Amiga.
Sinkleristy scold PC and with reverence
amizhnikam heed. Stupid PC, PC bad, PC
too expensive. And so his commercials. Something
and flashed like a new magazine
DEJA VU.
"The minimum set for gamers - $ 800
+ Constant "upgrade". And how much
Amiga? In front of me "AMIGA GUIDE" with price
firm "Sako".
Somputer Amiga 1200 Magic $ 520.
Obtained a half times cheaper. But poperestavlyav floppy and
delivery of programs requiring installation on a hard drive,
newly amizhnik will buy HDD. You can find it in any company
that sells PC. For 150-200 $ you can buy a good screw
1-2Gb. Youngest brother is not worth it because
that the price per megabyte will be much higher.
The truth will reveal a brand new computer and
output cable, a hard drive will be
lie side by side. If you want it to be
inside - have to buy a 2.5 or "thin"
3.5.
They will cost dearly. And the price is
close to the PC. To work with 3D graphics
(To play modern games 3D action) will need an accelerator, and
additional memory. It's still $ 350. And in order to fully open
graphics Amiga (and not to interfere with home to watch "Santa
Barbara") need to monitor, it is desirable Multisync - still $
480. Now obtained in half times more expensive than PC. And is
it not upgrade? Technology is not standing still.
Upgrade is needed and Spectrum. I agree, for these
money you will get more interesting comp
than PC.
But for all you have to pay. And the best advertisement
would not be talking up, as proposed
selling hardware and software, the consulting
and repair support. I would have bought myself,
if it had been where.
However, the purpose of this paper is not an advertisement or
a PC analysis of deficiencies Amiga. In PC rather narrow place,
but I do not want to discuss more and characteristics of
vehicles, taking volume of the magazine, designed for the ZX
SPECTRUM.
If you have a more powerful computer and
You are reading this magazine - means Spectrum
You care about. So use your
Supercomputer to help younger brother
ZX. And the Amiga and PC offer tremendous opportunities.
Graphics, animation, music. Remember that we have not Amiga, PC
and Spectrum - a COMPUTERS. And between them is much more
similarities than differences. So let's help each other and
live in peace!
