I got your point in the AmigaWorld ad the first time 🙂
I was thinking the same thing. I'll give ali & irv credit if this is true, at least they didn't sell out and sell it bits and peices. I also give them credit with thhe fact that they stood up to ibm and mac as a third platform, not to…
I'm one of those wacky amiga owners who wants to emulate everything if possible. yes I want and would buy an amiga1200 emplant. If it was for the expansion slot would that stop me from using the gvp 1230 turbo II. Are there any draw backs from using PCMCIA over…
Amiga CD32 ad
Message #149471
What issue of electronic gaming with a cd32 ad are you talking about? I just brought look all through and seen nothing. also brought gamefan and the same thing. If anything they've seem to drop coverage on cd32.
I second everything you said, I always thought creative comp. was the best and biggest amiga dealer by there ads, and I've had no trouble with them at all. Like you also my favorite is amigaman they're closer to ny than cali but I still don't see what's wrong with…
what does TS stand for?
I always see their ads in amigaworld, I thought they were a pretty good comp. I still think they are but I don't live in cali. Now if you want to know a comp. that ad. in amigaworld that is really really bad (I hate to put this out) is…
I'll be looking for it.
Until anything is official, it would be irressponsible to print rumors. Think about it.
It would be kind of funnyif what america(press,software developers etc..) stuck their nose up at (the amiga&toaster) turns out to be a smashing hit in the hands of asians. Kind of like the thing that happened with the automobile industry. America was the standard with automobiles now basically japan is.
hahahahahaha
If that rumor is true and Philips wanted to bury it I wonder what they're afraid of? Are they telling me I made a good decision in buying the cd32 over cdi? Whoever owns cd32 now should have a commercial telling the public what Philips tried to do so people…
Aay Rob, next time you're in new york let me know I got this bridge I've been trying to sell.
hehe Hollywood, what a business.
How would I market the amiga to the business world. Well before answering I really don't think it would be necessary in the begining, ibm has a strong hold on that just by its name alone. Business is not the only market out there, you have the home and entertainment…
Probably you should get Irv & Ali to handle your finances and after they're through with you and have left no bank in its right mind will have anything to do with you. That's the same reasoning you use for the amiga isn't it. maybe if you look at it…

What you said is not only possible but the truth.
Why don't you sell your mac powerbook and buy an amiga with a mac emulation board, it will run all your software and faster. with the amiga you can emulate the mac & ibm systems, having all three platforms on one computer the amiga. Now go run along now and…

May be,…but you know out of all the companies that make computers ibm,mac,cbm they reaally don't think when they're building them. They're to much into the mhz,risc,caches etc..to be thinking about the simple things like what is good for the consumer snapon expansion, capable system of being upgraded from a…
Well if that's part 3 then this is part 4- The amiga awakens a little with the help of KATO from Asia, reaching up he trys his best to speak hoping the asian would get the message " Kato…you have to find the people who…cough..cough… …first invented me…you must bring…
Ahhh….hemmm..cough..cough..anybody off that diet yet I kinda saved alot of words that somebody gotta eat. Part 2 The ibmer and the mac close in for the kill, amigaman is in a daze and can hardly stand on his feet. Is this the end of amigaman, his fans turn away in…
I agree with that 100%. And another thing why can't someone make a box with expansion slots for the A1200 at least 5, 8 would be better. I remember waiting for them to do it with the A500 not only did they come out with it to late but it…
Looks like I got me an A3000, I saw it and I hope it's not a miss print.
If you want to get something done you go to the believers and you council and plan then get things done…… the unbelievers then follow, so there's no point in arguing with them. History proves this…. the wheel(look at that guy hahaha working on that thing all day) fire( that's…
Well at least he's not inhaling.
That is what I figured from the start, at least that's what I would do if there were no other options and my back was against the wall. There are and were so many guns pointed at the amiga to kill it do you really blame them if this is…
Well if bill gates is king he better take a look out of the castle window sooner or later those peasants outside are going to come together and try to oust him.
Pickup Gamefan magazine volume2 issue5 in it they have pictures of the saturn and the software it runs, the pictures of the software look dam good probably somebody can tell me if it is real or a gimmick. If it is real software run on a saturn they better start…
Yes to all.
What are you taking about leave the stadium, this isn't even the world series yet they have more games to play. but seriously there are so many options available it isn't funny why should one jump ship now. If we could figure these things out and have all these ideas…
That is why I subscribe to their mag.
Somebody better go on a fast because they got alot of words to eat. By the way anybody out there like to gamble for money? I'll put my money on the amiga surviving…..any takers…com'on. aaaahh jim ya alright in my book….does this mean I get a free emplant?
don't take me serious not one bit I see this thing as one big soap opera and I'm having fun with it as I'm learning the fate of the amiga. I'm a new yorker so that kind of talk is normal.
New ideas here's one- write letters to companies like sega or nintendo or whoever stating the reasons why they should buy the amiga or parts of it and show them the loyal following it has. If no one is interested just ask what do they think of the amiga ,…
My thoughts.
You may be on to something.
You have missed my point, when I say that they have wasted money and are soon to get sick of it I mean the high prices. When the first ibm came out one thousand and something dollars was cheap likewise for the 386, 486 and so on. They all cost…
No, I mean amigaman able to leap ibms in a single leap look up in the sky it's….actually I'm not amigaman but I've seen him before it was along long time ago, my friends saw him too back then and they were amazed, he was not in his amiga uniform…
And he shouln't let him play with his amigas when he's finished building them. Matter of fact john should start practicing eating words because he has alot to eat.
You got a keyboard now …right…so what are you complaining about. besides isn't there an adapter that will let you use an ibm keyboard ….so there…ya set for life.
I was talking about the ibm & mac world. You could never waste your money if you brought an amiga. It's like that rabbit on that commercial it goes on and on and on….and on…. One more thing- how dare you accuse me of being anti-amiga I'm the amigaman.
sounds good
I kept the faith! I kept the faith! hahahaha All you negative people go to hell. just joking, well not really.
Great idea, that's the difference between those who make money and those who don't. That is the American way you know. Remember there's more people who don't own computers than those who do. Nothing is set in stone. CBM should have done this along time ago. If it works one…
AAAHHH BUDD if he was to listen to you he'd probably have to work for the rest of his life and we wouldn't have the emplant. How's minimum wage these days. And you, and you ….!#$$$@*$$!!!!
Those are not my words I got them from a magazine.
My point exactly. I know this store down the block which had a really bad cook. Instead of firing him they gave him money to buy food from another store so they then could resale it as their own.
Brian, sorry but no one knows the future! after seeing what the saturn could do I'd say no one has this market sewed up tight, probably never will. As soon as someone thinks they have the cutting edge someone will come out with something better and cheaper. Which leaves people…
