The Amiga
"Well, who's the PC now?"
Feel free to use the above expression as a way of asking "who loses now?"
This expression is certainly useful when comparing a PC to an Amiga. Not? Make this simple test: Take one (1) Amiga 500 and one (1) 133 Mhz PC. Ask them both to play a game and some mod-music at the same time. Observe which one leans back and does the task without even frowning, and which one starts sweating heavily. And now we're talking an unexpanded Amiga with a 7 Mhz processor. Just imagine what an expanded 300 Mhz Amiga would be able to do (gazes dreamily into the distance) ...
Well, who's the PC now?
Addition on 3/8, 1999.
So many things are better with the old A500 than with a modern PC. How come, for example, that I can still remember the music from heaps of Amiga games, while modern PC super-CD-quality music tends to be forgotten the moment it stops? Where did the Amiga musicians go? Seems they didn't convert to the PC at any rate ...
