- THE COMPUTER SLAGS FILE.
- This is to be a straightforward file in which the customers to
- this disk are able to send in mindless slags degrading other
- computers..
- Marvel! At the language used to convey 'My computer is
- better than yours' debate.....
- Wonder! At where people get their information from.....
- Rapture! At the death threats given by people loyal to
- their computers..
-
- I (68K) have had a computer slag board running for about 9 months
- on my BBS in the University Of Greenwich.. At the time of writing,
- the file for the 9 months in approaching 500K. I hope that this
- file will be just as used (hopefuly more!). Feel free to curse,
- swear, insult, cuss and threaten people in this file, 'cos thats
- what this is all about..
- It's all in fun really.. Isn't it? -68K

- *******************************************************************
- This file will be 'chopped' every so often, so that you havn't got
- to wade through masses of text to get to the new bits.. - 68K(Steve)

- So let's start the ball rolling....
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- What gets me about Amiga owners is that they slag off the Falcon
- because "It's just like an ST", and then boast about the fact that
- the A1200 is fully backwards-compatable... Seems a bit hypocritical
- to me.....
- The A1200 being compatable with the A500/600 limits the machine
- as a whole, and will mean it'll be dead very quickly.... Ha ha!
- The Falcon and the ST/STE/TT range are completely different computers,
- with different uses and aimed at different markets.. It just so happens
- that the Falcon can use a large amount of ST/TT software as it can run
- GEM programs.... I think that is a good idea, as much of the
- serious software is written for GEM (to ensure compatability with the
- ST/TT/STE).
-
- Okay, that'll do fer now!!! ;)
- - 68 'I think the A1200 is crap' K -
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Well for starters the Falcon looks exactly like an ST, except for a
- slightly different shade of colour. The A1200 is bigger than an A600
- (with the extra numeric keypad), and looks a lot sexier too!
-
- Compatibility with the A500/A600 just means it can run almost all
- software written for the earlier Amiga's. Anything written to take
- advantage of the A1200s amazing new AGA graphic chip set, certainly won't
- work on the earlier Amiga's. Most existing A500/A600 software will even
- run faster when run on an A1200, so the compatibility certainly doesn't
- hamper the A1200 at all.
-
- With 2Mb as standard there is loads of memory, more than the Falcon I
- think you'll find. With plenty of expansion possibilties. These now
- include the new CD drive to be released for the A1200, you haven't got
- one of them coming out for the Falcon yet have you ?!
-
- Who needs GEM when you have the indispensable AmigaDOS with Workbench 3 ?
- A lot lot friendler and better looking than GEM anyday.
-
- The only thing in the Falcons favour (at the moment) is the DSP chip, and
- when Commodore finally get round to unveiling their new DSP chip the
- Falcon won't even have that advantage!
-
- Answer that if you can!
