I remember posting that too!

Get rid of the video.

Too many people are judging the Falcon badly over this kind of video.

As you fully well know, the Falcon while no speed monster by any stretch was untouchable when it came out for quite some time... It just about predates the 386 and even today people are still using them as serious PC Alternatives just shows how good they can be.

Its letting it down to see this kind of video.

I don't agree. This is a real video that shows a real situation. If it's bad, then it's bad. But it's real. I've also uploaded a much better video and I've stated why this is slow. If people want to judge badly they will do so no matter what you show them. If not they'll discuss it and then they will formulate an opinion.

Now, this video is on a really poor screen resolution.

TeraDesk is a really low end Desktop that has been bundled with EasyMiNT.

Please dont judge the Machine based on a ridiculously thick video.

Most people who use their falcons seriously will agree but this video is an embarrasment and I really do wish it would be taken down or at the very least that the user would use a sensible resolution.

I'll just point you back to my previous answer on your similar comment 1 year ago. :)

Should at least use 640x480x16 on the falcon when using a browser..

@cuttock So what? Have you ran out of ideas?

@richardmaudsley77

I like the way you separated "Idiot" and made it stick out at the end, it really makes your "assault" seem special.

You profoundly dull turd.

@cuttock Here's a helpful hint:

Just because something better comes along, doesn't mean the old thing gets worse.

Idiot.

@richardmaudsley77

Luddites liked crappy old things too.

[richardmaudsley77]

@cuttock Or, maybe they just like it better.

[richardmaudsley77]

ahahahaha ST low

@cuttock

I stand by what I said about using it as a "serious alternative to the PC", to paraphrase you. It's ridiculous. But using it for that extremely limited purpose as you do, it's fine.

[FatRakoon]

@cuttock

Not necessarily. I know ful lwell what you mean, but sometimes the Atari has a simplicity that the PC is overly powerful to use.

For example, in my LAN room, there are 8 High End PCs, in the middle of them is my Falcon, connected to and FDI and a FriendChip 8 Midi out ports and on to several synths, andexpenders and I use CuBase Audio to record my music. I dont need any extra functions other than the recording ability of the Atari.

Why do I still use the Atari when I have the PCs?

@FatRakoon

Anyone using a Falcon as an serious alternative to a modern PC is mentally ill and out of touch.
