Distribution: world Date: 26 May 91 08:47:30 PST Organization: Resonance - British Columbia, Canada Yeah we can only hope CBM redesigns the custom chips, although I haven't been too impressed with CBM lately. I mean they are not doing much in some areas. Like research and developement, advertisement! And that where the money is! The only reason I got an Amiga rather than a IBM is because it has custom chips, which give it power at a cheap price...etc Plus an out of the box multi-taskin operateing system. Personally CBM should really try to establish a 1 meg Amiga market! screw 512k!! hmmm I think 512k fast ram and 512k chip ram is the perfect way to do stuff. Have all your code in fast ram so its at full speed and the rest for graphic and audio stuff in chip ram! Now you have a fair amount of power! Anyways I think there is need for improvement with CBM? anyone disagree? Oh well I guess its tough when everything is practically IBM. hmm but surely CBM should be ahead of Apple!....heh which produce lame machines! Just the boreing CPU with i/o cards system! Which is the worst micro-computer design! Amiga has the best idea... CPU, custom chips! And if CBM doesn't do something I hope someone else does...heh later.. A.t.
