Amiga-news.de asks: which system for 2002 : Comment 36 of 76 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Mad Dr. Z on 25-Oct-2001 21:05 GMT | In reply to Comment 24 (anonymouse): yeah, it is possible of doing work on a PC... but it more of a question of flavor... the only thing I can stand on the PC is DrDOS, but I don't care to spend all time custom writing stuff. For me, a electrical engineering student, it is a very viable machine.
Amigas to are easy to afford, until I start wanting some of the same stuff as I wan't out of my miggy.
-Easier genlocking/video mixing. To do what I am setting up to do, this, on a PC, require quite a bit of extrahardware, with a less desirable price for me.
-Far more expandable. I've never seen a PC with enought PCI slots to keep me happy. On my miggy, I have 4 PCI, 5 Z2, 1 video, 4 clock ports, SCSI2 and, once SharkPPC+ comes out, AGP. Now that is a nicely expandable setup.
In the end it all just about your flavor and what you need, but with what one needs, it has to do with how resourceful one is to. My self, I can survive on nearly any OS; I may not like it's flavor, but I can survive.
I may spend much time messing with the AmigaOS and the hardware, but is little compared to the time I spend messing with Windows, back when I was still using my parents comp befor I got a miggy. I messed with Windows much time with out getting any where near as desirable results as I got with Birdie, PPC dtypes, Vprefs, and MCP. |
