Odisseas Kosmatos lists lots of "reasons" why PCs are the Scum of the Earth.. Sure.. but can your Falcon do *anything*...? Without software, you've got a high-tech (and expensive) paperweight.. Meanwhile, that poor, misguided PC owner is happily computing using his lousy, clunky, "everyone knows" has problems PC to do exactly what he wants it to do. He had to pay $89 more to get 11 voice FM synthesis music, with VOC sampled voice support.. so what..? It works.. NOW.. He had to pay $19 more to get a mouse.. so what..? It works.. NOW... He's got an IDE drive.. so what? That's what the Falcon has too! The point that seems to be universally missed here is that if someone decides that they want to use a computer *NOW*, instead of waiting for the ever present Atari "RSN", they CAN do it.. If someone decides they want to get some actual work done NOW instead of waiting continually for the NEXT broken promise, why shouldn't they..? Why wait forever for the "ultimate" pie in the sky dream, when you can get a REAL computer NOW..? (OK, maybe some of us can afford to wait forever for Atari to get their act together.. maybe someday they'll actually come up with a killer machine that *everybody* just HAS to HAVE... but until then, why spite yourself just to make Atari feel good...????)
