- Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Hammmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (Sorry just a bit of meditating
- whilst waiting for the views of the readers)
-
- Okay, last issue (4) I asked you lot this brain taxing question:-
-
- Why Are PCs So Shit?
-
- And how many replies did I get? Two fucking ones, come on!
-
- The two views are completely opposite which I suppose is good as there's
- a view from both sides. Enough rumbling lets get on with 'em.

- Hello ßudda...
-
- Your question wasn't very fair as you seem to have already
- decided that they are shit without knowing why! I own a PC and used to
- own an A1200 until I flogged it because of this Commodore thing. My 486
- PC isn't going to be out-of-date in a year and software support can
- never run out as the user base is far larger than the Amigas. Also if I
- want to sell my machine for an upgrade maybe I shouldn't have too much
- trouble as PCs are always wanted, unlike Amigas which people don't seem
- to be investing in.
-
- The current software being released is far superior to any on
- the Amiga and there's more of it too! Maybe you should open your eyes
- and see that the PC IS the way ahead!

-
- You seem to be wrapped in your PC. I can't see why you sold
- your A1200 just because of some trouble with the makers, you're not
- going to be buying another Amiga so Commodore shouldn't be a factor in
- wether or not to keep your A1200. Software support is the thing to take
- into consideration when decideing on a machine. And at the moment the
- Amiga seems to be stuffed with new releases so there's no sign of
- software publishers being 'scared' of investing in the Amiga market. As
- for you 486 not being out of date well that's a load of shit as it's
- already out of date! I own a 386 and it's definetly out of date now as
- most new software requires a 486 and 4 Mb of RAM minimum. The only
- people likely to but your machine are first timers who don't have a
- bloody clue about computers or people on a tight budget. Current
- software release on the PC are only marginally higher but most of it is
- crap or not if intrest to many people. The games are usually ports from
- other machines (although this is beginning to change) and the finished
- quality is usually below the original standard. The only games the are
- any better on the PC are RPG's as they don't require fast movement and a
- speedy processor. All the good games require hoards of memory and a
- fast (& expensive) PC. This is totally out of most peoples price range
- which is why PC are so SHIT!

- Dear ßudda/NFA
-
- I'm completely sick of PC owners mouthing off about their
- machines. They are crap. My point is that games which run on an Amiga
- 500(7MHz) with 1 Mb need 4 Mb and a 25 Hz processor on a PC to do the
- same thing! The PC has been badly designed inside but now they can't
- change it as there's to many current users who wont want to buy a whole
- new system to fix this problem. They are stupid enough to fork out more
- money just to keep there system up to running the latest things. What
- will happen when their PC can't take anymore but the programs are
- requiring 100 Mb to run? They will be stuffed. Ha - and I hope they
- die of it.

-
- I totally agree, at last someone with some sense! Are yor
- processor speeds corret Badds? I don't know.

-
- Well that's the mail bag empty from last issue. Now onto this issues
- HOT-TOPIC. I want your thoughts and reasons on this difficult
- question:-
-
- WHY DID YOU BUY AN AMIGA?
-
- Whatever your reason get it down on paper or on disk and send it to me.
- I await your views!
-
- Catch me next issue with the replies and another HOT-TOPIC, until then
- I'll be seeing you in my mind. Ooooh-er.
