I own a Wii, PS3 and 360 and as fun as they can be they will never be as fun as what the Amiga was with music and funess, I played day & night and even skipped school to play it. I loved playing Hybris, Battle Squadron, Super Cars, Crazy Cars, Lotus, It Came From The Desert, Shadow Of The Beast & all the strip pokers etc lol.

If you want a REAL Amiga based on the Motorola PowerPC chip, then check out the A-EON X1000. That is based on real updated Amiga technology (where you can run old games) and supposedly coming soon. The one from Commodore USA LLC (different company, but licensed C= and Amiga licenses) is based on Intel i7. As for new games it will be hard....nobody is programming for 16-bit stuff anymore (sadly). Unless someone at Hyperion or C=USA LLC looks into it...
@MiddlemanOne . I do know about this new Amiga etc as I have been to the site before. If this Amiga does sell I can bet you that 16-bit games if possible will be continued being made for it from new developers. Much like myself and many others I much prefer 2D pixel art than any other form. This is still very popular today as with some Amiga game developers re-releasing their work on current platforms such as Ipad etc and kept to the original art style. Cinemaware are also still in the game.
CUSA is planning to move its customer base (and hopefully former C= owners) to Linux Mint, which it now officially endorses. The owner Barry Altman, is an engineer with tremendous history with CBM in the past, and has just written an open letter to the community. Check out Commodore-Amiga(dot)org. One crucial thing with Mint is that it can run proprietary software legally. CUSA has just made agreements with Cloanto to have all new C= machines to be able to run old ROMS legally using Linux Mint.
@bigmaxy07 actually, it was more great fun in the 90's in the times of AGA! I would love to see how Need for Speed looked like on an AMIGA nowadays. But the people behind AMIGA sucked. Big talkin' Men doing shit like dinosaurs. But the good thing is, we got days to remember - good days :) I love my Amigas, they're great. You can say it's dead, but for US it's a Legend!
@zachthezombie Hard to give MS a run for their money when the UI (Workbench) is running on an OS (AmigaDOS) written by MS. You'd have to start with a clean sheet using nothing from the previous OS. Goodbye backwards-compatibility, so long existing user-base, see ya later revenues and proits (we never knew ye)!
@ZWILD1 Well, the only thing microsoft has ever touched in amiga is the Amiga Basic. M$ has absolutely nothing to do with AmigaOS (which is the operating system), nor AmigaDOS (which is the disk operating system). Workbench itself is the file manager and application launching UI, the UI itself is handled by the AmigaOS. Just to make some points out ;)
Amiga was incredibly advanced in the 1980s - the preemptive multitasking was a league ahead of Macintosh, and the dedicated video chipsets were far and away superior to anything outside of a dedicated workstation.
Sadly, the user interface sucked (which prevented Apple customers from buying them) and the software had zero compatibility (which kept DOS users from buying them.) The hardware was great for graphics and video editiors...who could justify buying SGI.
@DimitrisAlexopoulos Hell yea! I only had a Vic20 & C64 back in the day, & never a "real" Amiga. Now I use emulators for C64, & also Amiga for which I bought the Amiga Forever emulator. The games are STILL cool, but considering WHEN they were released & the graphics, Amiga was amazing! I also remember seeing them in music stores in the late 80's. Commodore/Amiga made great products. (the Atari ST was pretty cool too) BTW, I have EVERY Amiga+C64 game ever made, like 20,000 for each system.
Exactely! You nailed it! The PC has what all the things the others do not have! Like .dll-hell! Viruses! BSOD! Instability! Backdoors! Cryptic error messages! Lazy monopolies! Ten-years-behind-everyone else-innovations! Ridiculous malfunctions! Ridiculous functions! An annoying talking paperclip! A search function that doesn't find! Bloated office software! Cooperation with terror organizations! Spying on you! Letting Steve Balmer dance around! FUCK!!!
Wow, so you not only know nothing about computers, you also lack any knowledge of basic logic. First of all, you only know about viruses that you detect. Secondly, caling viruses fake because there are imperfect ways to fight the problem is ridiculous. Thirdly, the great number of viruses for Window$ is only possible because Window$ is an absolutely crappy, bloated, badly constructed malware. To call people stupid because they avoid to lose time, data and effort IS STUPID.
I know someone who still uses an Amiga and does a lot of coding. Funny thing is that you can throw all kinds of vicious malware at it, it just doesn't do a thing.
Yes, the malware isn't compatible. Yes, there is a community that doesn't code malware. But no, that's not the fundamental reason. The fundamental reason is, that the Amiga has a much better operating system than Window$. If the Amiga would be more popular it would be a similar situation as it is with Linx in the server world: Superior market share, still not attacked. Design is everything.
the reason the amiga was popular is that it was more powerful than the pc and the mac - the people buying the system for games didnt care about workbench - that's not the reason why it did well.
the current amiga doesn't have that advantage - nostalgia is nice but it's still nostalgia.
I had an Amiga 500 and what bugged me most was not the computer but the ability to get software for it,if it ever makes a comback they will have to solve that problem before I invest in something other than a pc.
@amigang Personally, I would NEVER want Amiga OS to be Linux based. I had an experience with numerous Linux distros and every time I think "This one is good" it fails at some point and user get totally stuck with the problem. AmigaOS always have been something you could deal with easy way and I think it should be so. Also, Since my first Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 latter on, I never wanted to drop mouse and use CLI to do system things - and Linux is opposite: just console, console,console...
@amigang Workbench isn't an OS, it is the GUI of Amiga OS. With Kickstart it is one of the main components of that OS, the confusion grew at the time of Amiga 1000 because Commodore labeled wrongly the floppy with that OS component.
slightly ignorant I think? They started in the early 80s, and have gone through several different ownerships in the last 20 years. Amiga still exists as a company now.
I loved the Amiga (A1200 is my favorite), but guys...
Seriously... It's time to move on...
Come on now, no whinies, give me that Amiga... come on, hand it over. It's going on eBay, SHUSH! I will hear no more of this, its eBay or you get a spanking ! Aaahhhh tut tut ! Shooosh ! Now that's enough !
Be good and I'll give you a nice new i7 with your favorite Linux distro installed.
15 years later and i still thing amiga's have more games than macs... never buy a mac if you like games from people other than iD\Maxis\open source people
Very impressive. I still have my 1200 sitting in my room. Unfortunately don't use it for much these days, but I doubt I could make it perform well enough to make something with this quality. Even with it's AGA and extra 4 MB RAM :D
Nope, firstly i converted the Apple Advert from Mov file to a gif file, I had to do this on the PC. Then on the Amiga, edit the gif to add my effects like Lorry or exploding heads etc, save as a gif, port it to an avi on the amiga, re-add the sound of the advert and add the truck sound and then upload it to youtube.
The Amiga was TOO advanced.The "big" corporations didnt want that.Too MANY technological features in ONE computer,in the 80's? The "industry" couldnt allow such a product to be available to the public.Thats why it took years for PC's to have multitasking, decent sound ,descent graphics and networking capabilities.
The Amiga was killed off so as to leak out bit by bit over time,all of the features we know today on our PC's that the Amiga had available to us all in the 80's.
@nikamota You're right that profit and greed killed the Amiga. How else to explain programmer's a per-use license fee to utilize the Amiga's programming language and then charging them another fee to allow them to sell their product as being "Amiga-compatible". Or preventing third-parties from producing hardware upgrades, so that Commodore could continue to scalp it's users by charging three times what identical hardware cost the PC user.
@ZWILD1 It might have made sense @ the time, but in retrospect it's like they were literally buying the nails for the companies own coffin. In that sense, regardless of how great a product they made, they were doomed to fail. When you think about it, back in the "Wild West" days of the 80's PC market, IBM was safe, so the death match (for 2nd place) was really between the 3 "A"'s. Amiga, Apple & Atari. Imagine if Atari or Amiga had "won"? People might be buying Amiga aPhones & aPods, hahaha.
@nikamota Amiga's were designed for snob's who valued image over substance and were willing to pay through the nose for the privilege of owning a machine with limited functionality and a dead-end business plan (who do you appeal to when you've serviced all the uninformed snobs?). Unfortunately, apple had been at that game longer than Commodore and had become much better at it. Thus the Amiga's role became, "Not as useful as a PC, not as absurd as a Mac".
@gjc82071 Commodore sold a shitload of C64's because, for the price it was the best machine for the home-user market. The competition consisted of the over-priced and under-powered Apple IIc, and the cheap Atari's and Tandy's of the time. Once Commodore moved into the "business" market it needed to adopt the business model of the PC makers: cheap hardware and an abundance of third-party applications. Instead it tried to screw everyone with license fees and proprietary restrictions.
@ZWILD1 You did get a lot of "bang for the buck" with the Commodore. 64k ram, nice graphics/sound. Much better then the competition. So, if Commodore had either stuck strictly with the home market, or for the business market, dropped license fees and proprietary restrictions, do you think the outcome may have been better for them? Or at least different? (they may have stayed around a little longer, if not permanently)
@gjc82071 I liked the C64, for awile, traded-up to a C128 and was quite disappointed. Later I had an Amiga 500 and that it was a piece of useless crap. If Commodore had stuck with the home market, it would have occupied a lucrative niche between the Apples and Ataris, but would have lost huge market share once the PC makers saw the margins available in the "consumer' market. At any rate, the advent of game consoles would have sounded the death bells for Commodore. continues,....
@gjc82071 If Commodore would have marketed the Amiga's to professional using a PC business model (profits through unit volume not per unit price) and forged competitive alliances with hardware and software developers, the mac would have gone glub, glub and the world would have been spared the second-rate, unimaginative iCrapware that is now Apple's profitable product line.
@gjc82071 In the late eighties, I used to wait every month for a magazine called "Computer Shopper". I dug the editorial content like "Alfred Poor's Computer Cures" and "Alice And Bill's Lab Of Doom And Pepsi-Cola" (Really). But the raison d'etre for the magazine was advertising. 800+ pages (every month), sized 8 1/2" x 14" and 90% advertising (vs editorial). Why? Because PC sellers were moving 100 million units PER YEAR.
@ZWILD1 Sounds like a cool magazine. Any archived online? Seems like there were more PC mags in the 80-90's than today, even though there are more PC's now. Not sure what you meant by Hah!/30 million C64's though. Considering not as many PC's were sold in the 80's as sell today, that is a lot even by today's standard. No other "single model" of PC has sold that many. Not saying Apple, HP, Dell don't sell more in TOTAL, but HP would never sell 30 million Dv7800's or whatever specific model.
1. PC sales are distributed amongst hundreds of variants, sold by tousands of companies and,
2. The PC began to rapidly evolve once the BIOS was reverse-engineered (remember Compaq's?). That meant PC makers needed to constantly revamp their product line to stay competitive. The C64 never improved, and by the time it's replacement (the C128) finally arrived, it was too little too late. continues,...
@gjc82071 The C64 was the best machine in a niche market. But Commodore, decided to milk an aging product instead of focusing on improvements that would allow it to continue to dominate the niche and expand into new markets. The PC's mantra has always been "Evolve Or Die!".
The Amiga had many flaws, which people have conveniently forgotten, and the business model and the marketing ensured it could never survive in the niche which the Mac had created.
In any case, Unix - which was designed from the start to run on all sorts of hardware, and could be expanded to any computer regardless of size - is a far better solution to modern computing. Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX, and IBM mainframes are all running Unix in one form or another - it's because it works!
@spasticteapot Advanced by whose definition and for what purpose? If I designed a feature into a car to solve quadratics and calculate pi to 10 billion digits would you be willing to pay an exorbitant charge for the "privilege" of having that advanced option installed on YOUR car.
In business, advancements count for squat if you can't deliver the features the customer demands. And what the PC customers demanded was affordability and "upgradeability".
The Amiga had preemptive multitasking long before Windows or Macintosh. As a result, it was able to run multiple programs far better than almost any other computer on the market - at least, below $4,000 or so.
This is the feature that lets you run Word and Excel at the same time. It was very much in demand, much as it is now. Sadly, Amiga had neither Word nor Excel, so the technology wasn't used much.
Also, at the time, upgrading was VERY limited on PC. The ISA bus sucked.
@spasticteapot What I remember of my Amiga was that it was a very slow machine that became even slower when "multitasking". And while the front-end was graphical, the back-end (AmigaDOS) was essentially a variant of PC-DOS (aka MS-DOS) which supported a very non-intuitive user interface. Ahhhh, but it was so "advanced" >rolleyes< !
BTW, "running" Word and Excel does not require multitasking unless each is actively carrying-out unique functions. Otherwise all the OS is doing is task-switching.
@ZWILD1 well, technically, unless you have a multicore processor, or a symmetric multiprocessing motherboard with more than 1 chip installed, the closest you can get to multitasking is task switching. A single core x86 chip can only run one instruction at a time. Now, with a fast processor, you simulate multitasking by switching between programs rapidly. Ultimately, though, it is still task switching.
@neutrino78x So basically, you've reiterated what I said a week ago, when I said unless both programs are functions at EXACTLY the same time, all the OS has to do is allocate time-slices fast enough to make it appear they are multi-tasking. Even having multiple cores or more than one proc doesn't enable multi-tasking because they still have to vie for common resources (RAM, storage, input/output) through shared busses controlled by a single chipset.
@ZWILD1 "all the OS has to do is allocate time-slices fast enough to make it appear they are multi-tasking" <--- I agree with this part. "ven having multiple cores or more than one proc doesn't enable multi-tasking" <--- this part, we disagree; if there are multiple cores, then you can have literal multitasking, one program runs one core, and another runs on the other core. but yes, generally, mulitasking is simulated by fast task switching.
@neutrino78x Ahhh, but what about resources (RAM, storage, I/O) and busses? Is the OS "smart" enough to aportion these things so that there are no conflicts? Linux and some versions Windows can do this, but watch what happens when WinXP or OSX runs two programs at once and both make a memory call. "You go now, and you gotta wait". Multi-cores makes multitasking possible, but the OS has to be smart enough with it's allocations to enable that trick.
@ZWILD1 "Linux and some versions Windows can do this, but watch what happens when WinXP or OSX runs two programs at once and both make a memory call." <-- not sure about MacOS X, but you are definitely right about Win XP. The current version, Win 7, should be able to do it.
@ZWILD1 Another problem which is starting to show is that neither of you compeitors here really have a clear grasp of what 'muti-tasking' actually means, nor do either of you have a substantial enough backing in the low-level technical demands of such a process to actually warrant causing an argument in its name. At this point I'd suggest the path to take would have been taking one step back and considering what outcome you actually hope to obtain from the discussion.
@neutrino78x Ok... I've been reading this discussion with interest, since it is unusual for two you-tube uers to be able to continue a discussion without quickly departing from it in favour of playground insults. At this point though I'm going to have to call foul since there is a trend emerging of arguing for the sake of arguing without any clear outcome in mind besides constantly trying to prove the other wrong, which doesn't make for any mutually acceptable conclusion. Also...
@spasticteapot Unix was definitely not designed from the start to run on all sorts of hardware. In fact the earliest versions ran on only one model of computer which required the use of a very brand-specific (Bell) version of assembly language. It wasn't until well into it's development that unix's designers switched to C and began to entertain notions of portability. And it is a goal which has never been satisfactorily achieved (witnessed by the plethora of official and unofficial variants).
@spasticteapot That Linux, Solaris, OSX, etc., have features and processes that appear Unix-like, or that they may contain code that appears similar to Unix, is hardly a basis to claim that they "are all running Unix". In fact, the built-in limitations of Unix prevent all of these OS's from running on Unix
Unix has been cludged forward to try and make it compatible with the evolution of computers and users, but this 40 year old OS is not what modern computing needs (or wants).
@gjc82071 You keep harping on the "30 million units sold", but keep in mind that was over an 8 year timespan, and at the same time Dell and Compaq were moving over a million units a month (each) in a much more competitive marketplace. 30 million units for a machine that had limited usefulness and no upgrade path may sound impressive, but recall too that when Commodore saw the Reaper approaching they tried to sell PC's to stay afloat. But they didn't have a clue for that market either.
@ZWILD1 So this has left me curious... what actually was your point ZWILD? You've come along such a tangent I can no longer really see what you were trying to argue?
@ZWILD1 Wasn't & to an extent, isn't it like that today with Apple? Tech junkies sleeping outside of stores to buy iPhones? hehehe. YOu don't seem to give the Amiga ANY (C64 too?) credit for being a great machine. It did have great graphics/sound & game playing potential for the era.
@gjc82071 Returning to where the agument came from, and looking at where purchasing history has brought us, I think there is some sense in pointing out, when looking at the seperate platforms: PC, Mac, Amiga, Unix, etc, it's plain they were never competing for the same money.
@gjc82071 There was overlap, but while we're reviewing the market in this 'desktop computer' sector, in order to understand it, we need to take our eyes from the hardware / software to look at the needs and characters of the people doing the purchasing. As soon as you do, it becomes obvious that there is so much more at stake than the specifics of what an entity can do versus a competing entity. It's really about what an entity does 'for you'. For me, this makes appreciating the history easy.
the amiga was mega, even a beginner could do amazing things.. most things seemed fool proof and easy to understand unlike most of today's machines and programmes. i still own a 500 and a red 600+ :)
I'm looking forward to Amiga's return because in our free market system it's competition that's makes good products and gives companies the drive to work hard to keep their consumers interested in it's products.
i pray one day all this PC and Apple crap goes down the drain and Amiga gets back and kicks ass once again forever. If anyone thinks alike, let's just not wake up with our hands in the crapper...
I guess all of those people who have never had a chance to "sleep" with Amiga hardware and Amiga OSes (even oldest Amiga OS 1.2), and Commodore 64, specially those of you programmers, have lost a chance of a lifetime, Maybe I can not describe it, but as a programmer and hardware designer back since 80s till now, I believe I can never experience the same again, it was when work was also real fun!
Today it's all marketing shit... They sell us i.e. graphics cards with medium capabilities, and advertise it as "state of the art". Shit, completely SHIT.

Yes, the malware isn't compatible. Yes, there is a community that doesn't code malware. But no, that's not the fundamental reason. The fundamental reason is, that the Amiga has a much better operating system than Window$. If the Amiga would be more popular it would be a similar situation as it is with Linx in the server world: Superior market share, still not attacked. Design is everything.

the reason the amiga was popular is that it was more powerful than the pc and the mac - the people buying the system for games didnt care about workbench - that's not the reason why it did well.
the current amiga doesn't have that advantage - nostalgia is nice but it's still nostalgia.

@amigang Personally, I would NEVER want Amiga OS to be Linux based. I had an experience with numerous Linux distros and every time I think "This one is good" it fails at some point and user get totally stuck with the problem. AmigaOS always have been something you could deal with easy way and I think it should be so. Also, Since my first Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 latter on, I never wanted to drop mouse and use CLI to do system things - and Linux is opposite: just console, console,console...
Xeramach 2 years ago
@amigang Workbench isn't an OS, it is the GUI of Amiga OS. With Kickstart it is one of the main components of that OS, the confusion grew at the time of Amiga 1000 because Commodore labeled wrongly the floppy with that OS component.

The Amiga was killed off so as to leak out bit by bit over time,all of the features we know today on our PC's that the Amiga had available to us all in the 80's.
Profit and greed
nikamota 2 years ago 26
@nikamota You're right that profit and greed killed the Amiga. How else to explain programmer's a per-use license fee to utilize the Amiga's programming language and then charging them another fee to allow them to sell their product as being "Amiga-compatible". Or preventing third-parties from producing hardware upgrades, so that Commodore could continue to scalp it's users by charging three times what identical hardware cost the PC user.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 It might have made sense @ the time, but in retrospect it's like they were literally buying the nails for the companies own coffin. In that sense, regardless of how great a product they made, they were doomed to fail. When you think about it, back in the "Wild West" days of the 80's PC market, IBM was safe, so the death match (for 2nd place) was really between the 3 "A"'s. Amiga, Apple & Atari. Imagine if Atari or Amiga had "won"? People might be buying Amiga aPhones & aPods, hahaha.
gjc82071 1 year ago
@nikamota Amiga's were designed for snob's who valued image over substance and were willing to pay through the nose for the privilege of owning a machine with limited functionality and a dead-end business plan (who do you appeal to when you've serviced all the uninformed snobs?). Unfortunately, apple had been at that game longer than Commodore and had become much better at it. Thus the Amiga's role became, "Not as useful as a PC, not as absurd as a Mac".
...and "not as" doesn't sell many units
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 What you say..might be true. But Commodore sold over 30 million C64's. The single best selling PC in history. (for 1 particular model).
gjc82071 1 year ago
@gjc82071 Commodore sold a shitload of C64's because, for the price it was the best machine for the home-user market. The competition consisted of the over-priced and under-powered Apple IIc, and the cheap Atari's and Tandy's of the time. Once Commodore moved into the "business" market it needed to adopt the business model of the PC makers: cheap hardware and an abundance of third-party applications. Instead it tried to screw everyone with license fees and proprietary restrictions.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 You did get a lot of "bang for the buck" with the Commodore. 64k ram, nice graphics/sound. Much better then the competition. So, if Commodore had either stuck strictly with the home market, or for the business market, dropped license fees and proprietary restrictions, do you think the outcome may have been better for them? Or at least different? (they may have stayed around a little longer, if not permanently)
gjc82071 1 year ago
@gjc82071 I liked the C64, for awile, traded-up to a C128 and was quite disappointed. Later I had an Amiga 500 and that it was a piece of useless crap. If Commodore had stuck with the home market, it would have occupied a lucrative niche between the Apples and Ataris, but would have lost huge market share once the PC makers saw the margins available in the "consumer' market. At any rate, the advent of game consoles would have sounded the death bells for Commodore. continues,....
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@gjc82071 If Commodore would have marketed the Amiga's to professional using a PC business model (profits through unit volume not per unit price) and forged competitive alliances with hardware and software developers, the mac would have gone glub, glub and the world would have been spared the second-rate, unimaginative iCrapware that is now Apple's profitable product line.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@gjc82071 In the late eighties, I used to wait every month for a magazine called "Computer Shopper". I dug the editorial content like "Alfred Poor's Computer Cures" and "Alice And Bill's Lab Of Doom And Pepsi-Cola" (Really). But the raison d'etre for the magazine was advertising. 800+ pages (every month), sized 8 1/2" x 14" and 90% advertising (vs editorial). Why? Because PC sellers were moving 100 million units PER YEAR.
30 million C64's during it's eight year's.
Hah!
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 Sounds like a cool magazine. Any archived online? Seems like there were more PC mags in the 80-90's than today, even though there are more PC's now. Not sure what you meant by Hah!/30 million C64's though. Considering not as many PC's were sold in the 80's as sell today, that is a lot even by today's standard. No other "single model" of PC has sold that many. Not saying Apple, HP, Dell don't sell more in TOTAL, but HP would never sell 30 million Dv7800's or whatever specific model.
gjc82071 1 year ago
@gjc82071 It's not a valid comparison because:
1. PC sales are distributed amongst hundreds of variants, sold by tousands of companies and,
2. The PC began to rapidly evolve once the BIOS was reverse-engineered (remember Compaq's?). That meant PC makers needed to constantly revamp their product line to stay competitive. The C64 never improved, and by the time it's replacement (the C128) finally arrived, it was too little too late. continues,...
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@gjc82071 The C64 was the best machine in a niche market. But Commodore, decided to milk an aging product instead of focusing on improvements that would allow it to continue to dominate the niche and expand into new markets. The PC's mantra has always been "Evolve Or Die!".
The Amiga had many flaws, which people have conveniently forgotten, and the business model and the marketing ensured it could never survive in the niche which the Mac had created.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1
The Amiga software was very advanced...in 1985.
In any case, Unix - which was designed from the start to run on all sorts of hardware, and could be expanded to any computer regardless of size - is a far better solution to modern computing. Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX, and IBM mainframes are all running Unix in one form or another - it's because it works!
spasticteapot 1 year ago
@spasticteapot Advanced by whose definition and for what purpose? If I designed a feature into a car to solve quadratics and calculate pi to 10 billion digits would you be willing to pay an exorbitant charge for the "privilege" of having that advanced option installed on YOUR car.
In business, advancements count for squat if you can't deliver the features the customer demands. And what the PC customers demanded was affordability and "upgradeability".
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1
The Amiga had preemptive multitasking long before Windows or Macintosh. As a result, it was able to run multiple programs far better than almost any other computer on the market - at least, below $4,000 or so.
This is the feature that lets you run Word and Excel at the same time. It was very much in demand, much as it is now. Sadly, Amiga had neither Word nor Excel, so the technology wasn't used much.
Also, at the time, upgrading was VERY limited on PC. The ISA bus sucked.
spasticteapot 1 year ago
@spasticteapot What I remember of my Amiga was that it was a very slow machine that became even slower when "multitasking". And while the front-end was graphical, the back-end (AmigaDOS) was essentially a variant of PC-DOS (aka MS-DOS) which supported a very non-intuitive user interface. Ahhhh, but it was so "advanced" >rolleyes< !
BTW, "running" Word and Excel does not require multitasking unless each is actively carrying-out unique functions. Otherwise all the OS is doing is task-switching.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 well, technically, unless you have a multicore processor, or a symmetric multiprocessing motherboard with more than 1 chip installed, the closest you can get to multitasking is task switching. A single core x86 chip can only run one instruction at a time. Now, with a fast processor, you simulate multitasking by switching between programs rapidly. Ultimately, though, it is still task switching.
neutrino78x 1 year ago
@neutrino78x So basically, you've reiterated what I said a week ago, when I said unless both programs are functions at EXACTLY the same time, all the OS has to do is allocate time-slices fast enough to make it appear they are multi-tasking. Even having multiple cores or more than one proc doesn't enable multi-tasking because they still have to vie for common resources (RAM, storage, input/output) through shared busses controlled by a single chipset.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 "all the OS has to do is allocate time-slices fast enough to make it appear they are multi-tasking" <--- I agree with this part. "ven having multiple cores or more than one proc doesn't enable multi-tasking" <--- this part, we disagree; if there are multiple cores, then you can have literal multitasking, one program runs one core, and another runs on the other core. but yes, generally, mulitasking is simulated by fast task switching.
neutrino78x 1 year ago
@neutrino78x Ahhh, but what about resources (RAM, storage, I/O) and busses? Is the OS "smart" enough to aportion these things so that there are no conflicts? Linux and some versions Windows can do this, but watch what happens when WinXP or OSX runs two programs at once and both make a memory call. "You go now, and you gotta wait". Multi-cores makes multitasking possible, but the OS has to be smart enough with it's allocations to enable that trick.

@ZWILD1 "Linux and some versions Windows can do this, but watch what happens when WinXP or OSX runs two programs at once and both make a memory call." <-- not sure about MacOS X, but you are definitely right about Win XP. The current version, Win 7, should be able to do it.
neutrino78x 1 year ago
@ZWILD1 Another problem which is starting to show is that neither of you compeitors here really have a clear grasp of what 'muti-tasking' actually means, nor do either of you have a substantial enough backing in the low-level technical demands of such a process to actually warrant causing an argument in its name. At this point I'd suggest the path to take would have been taking one step back and considering what outcome you actually hope to obtain from the discussion.

Also...
vapourmile 1 year ago
@spasticteapot Unix was definitely not designed from the start to run on all sorts of hardware. In fact the earliest versions ran on only one model of computer which required the use of a very brand-specific (Bell) version of assembly language. It wasn't until well into it's development that unix's designers switched to C and began to entertain notions of portability. And it is a goal which has never been satisfactorily achieved (witnessed by the plethora of official and unofficial variants).
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@spasticteapot That Linux, Solaris, OSX, etc., have features and processes that appear Unix-like, or that they may contain code that appears similar to Unix, is hardly a basis to claim that they "are all running Unix". In fact, the built-in limitations of Unix prevent all of these OS's from running on Unix
Unix has been cludged forward to try and make it compatible with the evolution of computers and users, but this 40 year old OS is not what modern computing needs (or wants).
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@gjc82071 You keep harping on the "30 million units sold", but keep in mind that was over an 8 year timespan, and at the same time Dell and Compaq were moving over a million units a month (each) in a much more competitive marketplace. 30 million units for a machine that had limited usefulness and no upgrade path may sound impressive, but recall too that when Commodore saw the Reaper approaching they tried to sell PC's to stay afloat. But they didn't have a clue for that market either.

gjc82071 1 year ago
@gjc82071 Returning to where the agument came from, and looking at where purchasing history has brought us, I think there is some sense in pointing out, when looking at the seperate platforms: PC, Mac, Amiga, Unix, etc, it's plain they were never competing for the same money.
vapourmile 1 year ago
@gjc82071 There was overlap, but while we're reviewing the market in this 'desktop computer' sector, in order to understand it, we need to take our eyes from the hardware / software to look at the needs and characters of the people doing the purchasing. As soon as you do, it becomes obvious that there is so much more at stake than the specifics of what an entity can do versus a competing entity. It's really about what an entity does 'for you'. For me, this makes appreciating the history easy.
