This is a demonstration of my Commodore Amiga 2000 computer I am offering for sale on eBay. I've cut out the long boring parts (loading times) and one instance where I attempted to boot from a damaged floppy disk. (However, the drive works fine).
@HRHShawnPendragone Continued: "To truly multitask u need to have preprogrammed cpus not just a few more cpus." - First, define "preprogrammed CPUs". Second, if the Amiga can multitask for real by using the 680x0 CPU together with a Blizzard or similar acceleration board, a multicore PC can multitask for real by using one core to run one app and another core to run another at the same time.
"The Amiga is the only system that can do real- time multitasking." - No, any multicore system can.
"Amiga has multiple preprogrammed cpus - chipset" - I told you, using the custom chips for one application does not count as multitasking because it's still one application. And if it does, a monoprocessor PC has multitasking to because it uses the GPU together with the CPU.
@HRHShawnPendragone What do you mean with "u have to have the hardware"? Are you implying that the Amiga can actually run more processes AT THE SAME TIME (as opposed to a preemptive multitasking like monoprocessor PCs do)? Because that's definitely not the case, you need more than one core for real multitasking, there's no escape from that.
(BTW, with "multitasking" I don't mean running a program that delegates a copper list to Agnus, I mean running more than one executable at the same time).
@pokerockmario123 The cracktro for the operating system (ROTFL) belongs in the trash for sure. Why not edit the startup-sequence to NOT display it? What's the use of a cracktro in an OS disk?

You gotta take care of that return key dude. That machine needs caring :P Stop stroking it like it was your ex-girlfriend.

@ImoenOfTelengard Well i wouldn't pluralise that, it was a "decade" before Windows 95 but yes you are correct :) The Amiga was an incredible machine.

Funny how the Amiga had true multi-tasking decades before Microsoft implemented it in Windows 95.

during the bouncing ball why did the screen flicker and not during the desktop image ?
