  3. The Mac vs The PC

    Oh yeah, forgot about that one. In it's day and age the amiga was the gaming computer with it's graphics while the pc still had it's CGA adapter 3 colors for a computer monitor and if you were lucky to have one with a TV out you would get 16 glorious colors. . One question, how's the support for the Amiga nowadays .

    Yeah, I think that about sums it up just an anamoly cause I just tried it again now and the strafe was fine. Hmmm wonder what made it do that cause it was cool.

    The only oddity I noticed was that the EFM training started me inside of the base model.

    Grettings,

    Hmmm, Mac Vs Pc. I say Pc wins hands down. All you need to do is go into any hardware/game store like compusa. 99% of the store is geard for the PC and they have their one little corner for the MAC. The big downer for the MAC is that you can't get anything third party market you have to pay top dollar for an authentic MAC item I think the people at MAC and Steve Jobs have been psycologicaly damaged by Bill Gates ever since he stole the Windows Idea and now they are affraid to outsource to third parties. Also the software/game selection is piss poor. I also think the MAC is more a status item than anything else for people with the cash and believe me alot of us nowadays with the way the economy is don't have that kinda of cash to plunk down for another heap of trash just to show to our friends that we can afford it and they can't.

    Now the PC. The only draw back to the PC is Bill Gates and his windows! Whatever happened to DOS. The only thing wrong with DOS (from a developers point of view) is that each program had to have it's own device drivers for Audio, Video and Controller. Other than that, I could leave my PC on for Years and never have to do a reboot . All those peripherals... Video cards, Sound Cards etc... All at competitive prices too (unlike the mac equipment). Software/Games galore!! Need I say more.....

    Okay, in summary here are a few thoughts

    MAC=(M)inor (A)ggrevating ©omputer.

    PC= (P)retty ©ool (despite Bill gates and his windows monster)

    Can't say much about MAC os I've never

    used a MAC and never will if I can avoid

    it

    DOS great operating system

    Windows 98 (unstable at times but good I still use it)

    Windows ME= (M)igraine (E)dition

    Windows XP= (X)tremely (P)athetic (sure it's stable but it has more security holes in it than a slab of swiss cheese and god only knows what else is lerking in there ready to pounce on you and crash your system)

    Greetings,

    Ummm, I installed the new patch 1.00.01

    everything seems fine so far except one thing. when I went into the Marine training on the planet surface, I strafe left or right and if I hold the strafe button holy cow my walking speed kept increasing. I finally let go of the keys at 13,000 mps and came to a sudden stop. I could have kept going but I was getting dizzy watching everything go past so fast . Boy did I feel like super man I could have circled the planet twice. This does not happen to any of the other walking modes. Does this happen to anyone else?
