Amiga vs IBM
It's me again, VfNG. The wave of disputes between
amigovtsami and PC'shnikami not passed and
Brest. So far we have only 2-3 on the Amiga
the whole city, but I think it will not
long, and sooner or later, this machine is reliable and will
settle with us. And while I'm often asked something like:
"What's better, Amiga or IBM? ". I do not particularly
competent for Amiga, but I read enough literature on it several
times seen in action 600-ki-ki, 1200. When
that I constantly work on the PC, well
I know their architecture and capabilities. I will try to
express their opinions.
Firstly, as mentioned in the ZX-FORMAT 4.5, not all such
machines as the IBM. IBM-only one of the manufacturers of
personal computers, and the corporation, and even dealing with
not only PC'shkami. IBM'koy we call a car, build
processor-based firm INTEL, with the Operating System
manufactured by MICROSOFT. Corporation IBM, incidentally, is a
Alliance APPLE-IBM-MOTOROLA, creatures with to break off in the
production of INTEL processors. While they are not very
successful. So what will "IBM'ki" simply call PC-shkami.
In answer to the question of whether it is better, PC
or Amiga, most importantly to say for what could be better.
Let us understand once and for all,-Amiga-it
machine, specially designed to work with
graphics and music, ideally suited
for the home or a small television studio. She
little CPU, but great opportunities
Video blocks by dragging. PC-scale was the same
created solely for business and this
means that it is designed for those who do not
particularly looks at the graphics and sound, and who
important opportunity without much brain
efforts to work with databases, word processing,
archives. For those who are a couple of thousand dollars is
nothing. Let us understand at last that 15-MHz processor Amiga,
though with all sorts of other twists, it is nothing when you
have to be foolish and stupid clock to dig in the GB archives.
There needs PENTIUM, industrial processor with a clock speed
and tremendous speed. You say that you have a home 482nd with
16 megabytes, but it is slow, buggy, etc. etc. All true! After
the program, which you run, designed for multi-gigabyte screw,
more than 128 MB. RAM. Only when you have just such volumes of
car when the speed of the OS itself has no
particularly important when the program should
written with mad speed, when the time to think about a couple
of megabytes, PC appears in all its glory, as the seeds at a
fantastic rate snapping problem. This, I repeat, industrial
machine, not See the common man. A simple man buys 486-th and
sits in a deep sorrow for not for him here. " AND He fray,
break the computer, all terribly slow, uncomfortable. Exhibit
all bugs, glitches in the software.
Visible and gryaznost, ugly programs.
It's like on the Spectrum, when the effects PENTAGONA start to
'byte'. Will not drive MICROSOFT-on is an industrial corporation
receiving billions in profits, not really
considered to be the optimization of programs. In their
best interest to buy more fast cars, or they may even
deliberately try to make their programs work slowly. Would you
like to do in their place?
A Amigo is a small, elegant machine,
where everything is stable, with great graphics
and a sound machine, which will not be
chase, and where every piece of software is made slowly and
with care. On the Amiga you can not to solve problems that only
by supercomputers, but you can play nice games, draw pictures,
make videos. For that she created.
It's simple. If you're never going to make a living by
programming, ie, scribble Pascal kakielibo electronic catalogs
are not going to bent, and want to rest, then buy the Amiga,
you will not regret. If all Conversely, buy a Pentium, and be
prepared to fight for survival, for their constant Upgrade. My
joy, unfortunately, have to go this way, so I'm going to buy
PENTIUM100 for work or school, but a couple of years if the
money I put All the same at home for rest and fun and beautiful
little Amiga. That is my opinion.
Now, clicking on articles, you can
read a few of files on the Amiga from
those that I have. They once sent
Kamikaze, he is now constantly trades
Amiga in Minsk.
