| Amiga, Inc. and Eyetech announce partnership : Comment 13 of 15 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Casey R Williams on 09-Jun-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Holo-Holo):
Oh grow up! What is a PC? It's a Personal Computer, and so is the Amiga! What
you are apparently (and rightly) against is the Wintel duopoly and the mediocre
crap they forced on us for so long.
Neither of the mentioned dev boxes run Windoze or use Intel processors, and both
feature 2 of the more desirable 3D chips on the market. If Phase5 or Metabox
announced a GeForce board you'd probably be lining up for it.
I bought a K6-3 450 this year (and it is running pir@e windoze) and equipped it
with an ASUS v6600 which features a TV input and included 3D glasses. I use it
about as much as the Amiga, though I still prefer the smaller footprint of the
Amiga over the swapping and gronking PeeCee beast. Truth is, I'm using the PC
to do 3D and game editing stuff, and the Amiga for image processing and the net.
I see it as buying a PC for a PC an not to replace it. The same brainwash NewTek
used to sell Amiga2000s to Mac users. The new HW rocks and it is just getting
better! I want to run Amie on an AMD Thunderbird machine with ATI's new Radeon
as my GPU. Unless the G4 Boxer comes down in price, 'cos I love the Boxer. |
