  • [quote]Originally posted by Waynepixel: Great work apple thanks for ripping me off again. You know, you always could use the Amiga One system instead like some of the rest of us are doing.
    in Why I am Feed up with APPLE MACS Comment by orion July 2002
  • The original Macintosh, Mac 512, and Mac Plus were emulated on the early Amiga systems. Well rather the 68K code was not emulated, it was native. All they did was emulate the ROM and use the Amiga display hardware to translate Mac video routines int…
    in AmigaOne runs MacOS 9.2? Comment by orion July 2002
  • The Amiga does not need to run MacOS stuff, why run crap? The Amiga applications are much cleaner and have a better performance than the Macintosh ones. Ever wonder why Amiga based Mac Emulators run MacOS code at 1.5 times the speed of a Mac with th…
    in AmigaOne runs MacOS 9.2? Comment by orion July 2002
  • You would be better off installing Linux on your PC than wait for Apple to port OSX to it. I doubt that Apple would want to give up control of the hardware that OSX runs on. Just look to the updates of Darwin, best hope for an OSX type OS for the PC…
    in os x running on a intel chipset Comment by orion July 2002
  • This is easy, have him get a Playstation 2. Then upgrade it ala-cart to the Hard Drive, Ethernet port, Keyboard, and Mouse so that he will have a computer as well as a game station. Now that Virtual Game Station was nixed by Sony, the Mac doesn't h…
    in What machine to buy for a gamer? Comment by orion July 2002
  • AMD could make a PowerPC chip, and then make improvements on it like they did to their own chips. Maybe it can be less expensive and allow Apple to make cheaper Macs?
    in Apple/AMD - not x86 Comment by orion July 2002
  • A shame, X86 Macs would have been cheaper to make. But ultimately the PowerMac is the way to go for the Mac's future. I can't wait to see the G5 chips. Apple is just recently started to use dual processor Macs and is using SMP. The Amiga will have S…
    in *CONFIRMED* Mac OS X on x86 after this year! Comment by orion July 2002
  • Bring back the 9 inch Macs! I'd like to see a Mac Classic with a G4 processor and color 9 inch screen. That would be cool. Either that or bring back the G4 cube, whatever happened to that?
    in tasty new imac rumor...warning - it's different Comment by orion July 2002
  • I am sorry to say but the Amiga is in a league of its own. More like a RISC Workstation than a PowerMac. It doesn't seem to have that Mac Cutsy feel to it. Some of the custom chips they use it in are RISC based for the Co-Processors. In AmigaOS 5.0 …
