Most people will tell you that the new Rigid Disk Block standard for HDs makes the Amiga drives some of the fastest for micro- computers. Just read c.s.a.hardware. I find my 386's drive glacial compared with my Amiga drives. Besides, this belongs in advocacy. ****************************************************************************** HA HA!

MS-DOS is the clunkiest, no-sound-havinest, no- graphics-havinest, most-expensive-costingest, sound-board-needinest, joystick- board-needinest, oldest, most crustiest machine in the entire world!! "Bad command *or* file name." "General Failure error." Hell, it can't tell the diff- erence between a command and a file name so it says "Bad command *or* file name" And sometimes it doesn't even know what's wrong with itself!! Just tell me, Mr Webb, just tell me, what in the fuck IS General Failure?!?" IBM is so behind the times it has to ask Microsoft to make a clunky-ass, RAM- hungry GUI so people will stop going to Amiga and Mac because they're much easier to use. That oughta tell you something. And who would WANT to play games on an IBM?? They're just NOW coming out with some good graphics games for IBM, but that's only if you have EGA or VGA!! You don't even any damn kind of GA to play games on the Amiga! I won't even go through how an IBM will sometimes just lock up on you.... The Capital MD IBM = (I)'m a (B)itch (M)achine APPLE = (A) (P)unk (P)u**y (L)ickin (E)gghead AMIGA = (A)ll (M)otherf*-- Naw fuck that, it's just a FRESH COMPUTER!! Amiga- the one and onlee...

Ahem to the man who said: "get rid of the poxxy Amiga.. get a real machine." Don't cross post here in comp.sys.amiga.games if you are going to rag on the Amiga. Very, very, rude. Amiga : for $700 or less(educational) Exceptional 1 meg 2 drive stereo super duper high res machine. DOS: for $400- a 7mhz computer and a Amber monitor. Maybe it beeps. Buy a SVGA, stereo sound board, extra drive, mouse, operating system, a nice expensive monitor, blah, blah, and you have Empty pockets and a machine that STILL DOES NOT COMPARE TO AMIGA. Now ther's gud lawgic. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ |Joe Reeves | The Ohio State University | jreeves@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu | |---Memo-to-myself.-Do-the-dumb-things-I-gotta-do.-Touch-the-puppet-head.----| | // They Might Be Giants debut album. |

Sorry about the previous posting, but I'm not deleting it, still. I like DOS, love Amiga. It stays that way. But I will never never never do it again, I promise. IBM still stinks, though. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ |Joe Reeves | The Ohio State University | jreeves@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu | |---Memo-to-myself.-Do-the-dumb-things-I-gotta-do.-Touch-the-puppet-head.----| | // They Might Be Giants debut album. |

Hey, what the hell is a "Flicker Fixer" anyway? I know, I know -- there are additional graphics boards for the higher-end Amoebas. Can you imagine that? Commodore is so behind the times that it has to ask third parties to make graphics cards for them. That oughta tell you something, eh Malcolm? If you really think that IBM is worried about people converting away from DOS to the Amiga, then I suggest that you wake up and smell the sh*t you're shoveling. Obviously you've never used Windows. No, I guess you're happy running your Amoeba's GUI with its whopping 200-line screen resolution. What's that?

Wing Commander is blocky and slow running on anything under less than a 386 SX with 4 MB RAM. And I suggest you turn the sound off, unless you like hearing the sound of something or someone being squeezed through a sieve) When Wing Commander comes out for Amiga (and it will) I'm certain it will be run much faster and less clunkier graphics. And I guess you haven't seen The Killing Game Show or Awesome. Oh but wait!!

Are you that weak that you have to bring *drugs* into the picture? I would rather have my Amiga say "Software Failure" than just smooth lock up on me and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete or just snap the damn thing off and on again. > FRESH, huh?

Look Jerry, If the dip who had flamed the amiga in the first place had been a little more objective I wouldn't have rushed in and flamed IBM. IBM is such an overpriced, underpowered machine that I had to say something. I practically know MS-DOS in and out so I know its good and bad spots. Unfortunately, I can't understand why so many people are jockin' IBM like underwear. And please don't waste your pro-IBM crap on comp.sys.amiga.games. You had my EMAIL address. You should have EMAILED me personally instead. You crack-monster you. IBM = (I)ce Age (B)rontosaurus (M)achine Not ready error reading drive A Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?

You can get one with 4MB RAM, SVGA graphics, and a fast 65MB disk for about $1800 with monitor. For an extra $130 you can get a Sound Blaster which will give Wing Commander fantastic sound, and the upcoming Wing Commander II will have digitized sound (and consume most of your hard disk :-) > >When Wing Commander comes out for Amiga (and it will) I'm certain >it will be run much faster and less clunkier graphics. > I'm sure it will be good, mainly because they will already have some of the problems of the original noted and worked out.

DOS itself really can't crash unless you have some bugs or something in it. But still, I'd rather it say "Hey, look, somewhere something fu***d up" than just lock up on me. I mean, I could move away from the CPU for a moment after typing in a command and when I return there would be noting but the cursor on the screen, with Amiga it's flashing Guru. But that is my personal preference. Hey, I'm sorry if I sounded childish for rebuffing a direct Amiga flame. But as for IBM, I speak through experience.
