Unfortunately, said programmer is no junior. He has seen the "games" and
tricks. He has also seen what a flat-out 68000 system can do. Look, we all
know 68000 is a top processor. My bitch is that the super-dooper OS eats up
this good advantage, and we don't dazzle them. Is it that all Amiga
programmers are second rate? Is the performance just slow? Online! takes 10
seconds to load its phone menu. Lync, on IBM is faster than your finger.
Our "top house" gave us Artic Fox. A "best effort" by a group tied to CA.
Is that the best Amiga can do? To repeat, most commercial video games, that
are fast use the 68000. Why can't the Amiga match that performance? I think
the bottom line is that the Amiga hardware could, but not with the present OS.
..An unpopular comment, but somebody has to say it…
Bill, I can only hope on what can happen, personally, I DONT like any
language that was written by another programmer, it just has too many
limitations. Right now, I havent had the time to chew away at any 68000
books. But I know when the time comes, I will be using pure assembler. Pure
assembler is needed to push the machine to the max of it's capabilities. A
Notice to former 6502 programmers.. THROW AWAY YOUR COMPILIERS!!! Get back to
the grass roots of hacking! Push that machine to it's limit! And DONT depend
on anyones code. Reinvent the wheel, because it will roll faster and
straighter. Well, let me step off my soapbox Jim

Just a comment about your comment about Online!. It does NOT take 10 seconds
to "load" the phone menu. I might take that long if your CD is the root of a
full disk. When I run Online!, my cd points to a PHONE (dir) and the three
files there are brought up almost instantly.
This is the fault of the pattern search for *.trm, which must be made so you
see only the term archives.
Let's not judge harshly on features that are pluses to a program.
