Debate
WW: Here at last a letter arrived on the waves, probably
many, the question:
(C) Space5
IBM - IS THE BEST???
In this article I would like to touch so many exciting topics:
"IBM or Speccy ???". As noted in the ECHO # 3 dear IMP,
compare these cars does not make sense, because this, in his
opinion, completely different things (Spectrum - a bicycle, and
IBM - the car). I even somewhat agree with him, but there are a
number of "NO". And now I'm going to talk to you about these
very "NO". First: probably Many of you have noticed that almost
all people who have left the Speccy and perelezshie the
so-called "IBMstsenu," as if the water vanished. About them, as
they say, no hearing, nor spirit. The question arises: Why ? "I
think the answer is obvious: put yourself in for example their
place and see what you're doing. If you were on Speccy steep
encoder, it is probably at IBM you want to write something
remarkable. But look around: the software market failure to
ensure high-quality software Foreign hammered firms, and User
gladly buy these programs. And it is unlikely Whether you're
newly IBM'schik, will make his prog competition MicroSoft'u or
other overseas firms, for long years of work on the software
market nakopivshim tremendous experience. So it turns out: he
bought a computer, yes just do not know why.
Second: you buy "Pentyuk" a year or two will become obsolete,
there will be new models of the components (the same thing
happened with the 286-mi and 386-mi models soon, and "four"
shall be their fate), and you would have to collect huge
amounts of money on a new wheelbarrow. By the way, Again the
question arises: why is newer than the program, so it is
stubbornly refuses to normal (meaning speed) plow "triple" or
"four"? It's simple: why smart Uncle programmer dried brains
and try to write a program such clever techniques that she
normally worked on old company, if in his possession has 32MB
of RAM and steep with a Pentium supervozmozhnostyami? Thereby he
even contributes to the rapid spread of new wheelbarrows among
population, it seems to hint: "Buy a Pentium, and then you
be able to play my new game ", and Billy (in the sense of not
Clinton and Gates), more and more fills your pocket ...
Third: bought myself a new computer, you permanently give up
the his favorite beer, because pocket for an indefinite period
desolation (well, there is, of course, rich people, but rather
bit). A Think about how much you could buy a Sinclair
various pribombasami at least for the money that you
invest in buying a new monitor, SVGA ($ 300 minimum). Well
that convincing? You have already decided not to buy IBM? If
not, then Read on ...
After reading my notes about programming
IBM, you might be objected: "But in fact Pentium'e
You can not just programming! "-" And what then? "ask
I. Multimedia Yes, it's cool, but still our people are more like
watch the video. And the image on Wiedicke cooler (well, not
always, Of course (it all depends on the quality of
recording)). Games? Yes, it's cool, but if too strongly wants
to play, then buy yourself SEGA PlayStation 3 or the
Panasonic-DO, well, or at least Nintendo and tusuysya to blue
in the face, would be cheaper. Music? Yes, and it's cool, but
for what is invented tape recorders and players CD-ROM drive?
And this topic is truly inexhaustible, therefore, in
conclusion, we quote from the article Nemo "Platform" Spectrum
"for the new Russia:
"Working on such sverhuslozhnennoy technology as IBM leads to
unnecessary waste of time, effort and money, a disproportionate
the results obtained. Technique IBM does not match
economic realities of Russia, and the slump in prices
computers due to just that, not another "technical
breakthrough, "U.S. industry ..."
"Sometimes users Spectrum hint at what they left behind
from time to time, without passing on the platform of PC. Same
author it seems that by sheer luck they were able to
avoid this temptation. If they are really lagging behind, then
from herd compatriots lomanuvshihsya there all in a heap. And
herd effect triggered by her Majesty the Official
Doctrine ... "
UV-r-r! Well, like everything. But do not expect! On this
article I will not close this very topic, and maybe you'll see
on their displays the text signed by a modest name: Space5!
P.S. If someone has any thoughts on my article,
Please leave your comments, suggestions, comments,
assaults, and so on. on ABIGOR bbs, I will gladly answer you
(Zoom:)).
WW: I think the assaults would be inappropriate here ... My
opinion on this following question: I'm almost (!) agree with
you. But! If I had the opportunity (financial) to buy at least
286 machines, then I would have definitely would have done.
Such graphic capabilities, both at IBM - on the Speccy is not
and probably never will. Get at least the same 3D-studio, I'm
just jealous, when saw that this program gets up (although some
of what she was doing hideously slow, but it is a problem of
memory). I'm not talking about Newer grafichekih prog, based on
a story my friends IBM'schikov - it's just a fairy tale.
Naturally, I would have a large pleasure and comfort would be
painting on an IBM or Amiga (second preferable), although under
the platform Speccy (I'll throw it only if I stay it the only
and last user).
My position may seem contradictory and controversial, but IBM,
In my understanding, good support ... for Speccy and no more
this. I hope that readers have an opinion on this issue
why wait for responses.
