#Stay Loyal or Defect?
All:
I have lead a hectic life the last 12 months or so, and have gotten out of
touch with developements in the Amiga community. I have also found myself in
need of a new computer. I was thinking about it last week, and even went so
far as to buy several computer mags, but had come the conclusion that my
decrepit old A1000 could make it until summer when I would have more free time
(maybe lots – I work for Boeing, and might get laid off 🙁 ). Fate
intervened: the head stepping motor on my df0: failed yesterday. I swapped
the guts of df1: inside, and then the hard drive and the ram exp refused to
operate. I am writing to you all on a 512k one-drive A1000. Not a pleasant
experience.
I pose this question: I mostly use (used?) my computer for writing
fiction these days. I don't do video, and I find Prowrite feeble for large
dosuments. The print output on my DJ500 is limited by the driving software,
and I am tired of NLQ printouts. Is it just the obsolete software and
hardware, or should I go out and get a Mac? (Blasphemy! Stone him!)
Seriously, what are my best options $2k and under?
