I dunno – its all Greek to me! (Better head to Lucille's for a translation ;^}
I mentioned the Chinese thing to Mantrita and that it would be a great
market if only the average Chinese could afford a computer. She
remarked how the Amiga would now be part of there missle launch
systems. What a picture!! In AGA – voice synthesized countdown,
system display genlocked over video of the bird on the pad, you could
even use it to switch a live feed of the launch via satelite for
reception on and Amiga set-top boxes of those wonderful folks you
targetted. The ultimate Chinese torture ;^}
Hey, its the Amiga – its gotta be colorful, whacky and unpredictable
afterlife, right?
wmc – via Autopilot!
Interesting comment – missile launches… I've supplied Amiga systems
to NASA at Vandenberg Air Force Base here to use in sophisticated
telemetry systems for missile launches there. NASA has a VERY small
installation at VAFB (it would have been MUCH bigger had not the
shuttle exploded and caused a cancellation of VAFB's shuttle launch
facility which was already built). NASA/VAFB originally had an A1000
with special multi-line serial boards (custom built) and upgraded to
a pair of A2500/ECS systems about 2 years ago. They loved the
multitasking capability for the cost – and they went with the 2500
because of all the slot space for their special boards. I saw the
installation and their use, which was pretty mundane, but
sophisticated.
Heaven help us …
