***********************************
Time was Amiga was the best graphics compuer around. It stood
at the very pinnacle of graphics display. Remember when you first
popped in DeluxePaint and saw all those wonderful images for the
first time. Breathtaking weren't they? Compared to other computers,
it was like looking across the vistas of the Grand Canyon.
Times have changed. The Amiga is lagging behind. Time to catch up
and again be the benchmark of what good graphics are. Hopefully,
the future will bring dramatic improvements in Amiga graphics
capabilities. The gap is not large. It is never too late to gather
momentum catapulting the Amiga to once more being the graphics
computer of choice. But graphics aren't everything. Right?
I'm told the next Microsoft Windows release will require 300MB of
drive space and 32MB of memory. That amount of drive space/memory
for just an operating system boggles my mind. Why? Why so much for
so little. If this information is correct, Windows will be a behemoth
facing an ant. The Amiga operating system is microscopic in comparison.
How can the Amiga get so much out of so little, and Windows require
so much to get so little? Maybe because Windows is not a fully integrated
operating system, but a crazy quilt of patches with more patches on
top of other patches. If size alone mattered (including Windows95),
then Windows would be the easy victor. But size is irrelevant. Size
alone determines nothing. Only content matters. And for its miniscule
size, the Amiga operating system has plenty of content. Why did Gateway
buy the Amiga? Maybe for the Amiga operating system.
My picture illustrates that the Amiga better get snapping, cracking,
popping, or whatever it takes to really get moving. Maybe one day soon,
people will say, "For snap, crackle and pop, buy an Amiga. The best
computer around, bar none."
Isn't this the early dawn of a great new age, or what?
