20 years ago we had commodore 64 and AMIGA, they were the state of the art.
now, we have standard PC and we can emulate amiga and C64 on our PC or even in portable game consoles (it exists a c64 emulator for nintendo DS).

i forecast that in 2027 (20 years from now) we will have a creamware scope emulation on a "2027 standard apparatus" whatever will be this apparatus... :-)
(this, of course, if the world will still exist! :-D)

Looks like they have remove fluoride from the water.

I can't begin to image what they will have 20 years from now in regard to music, but it will blow our minds I'm sure :)

Yea, you'll surely blow, not only your mind, but probably the rest of yourself too, becuase if we continue like we are today, in 20 years the only thing we will find for sure, will be hundreds of spread wars everywhere in the planet...

Commodore is back! Maybe Creamware will recover from bankruptcy?

In 20 years time, I'll be, "Call this rubbish music? It's not like it was back in my day. We had proper tunes back then you could dance to..." :D

20 years from now you might even get the feeling of dancing without moving at all. Do you remember the movie (I think it was with Swarzenigger), where the male star gets very upset, when his new girlfriend put on some "mindphones", so they can have sex without touching.

on a site called Planetz, runned by the sun of a certain J. Cooper, the youth then will discuss if the aliasing is exactly like the original Creamware one or that the emulation is adding some to it...
Others will complain about the lack of 1024 bit support since Apple took over Microsoft...

which makes the difference even more clear... :-D

I know you think there's not much reason anymore to buy a (more expensive) mac over a pc.
Indeed, they are just using the same Intel processor, which is perfect.
It's the software that counts tho, just like you can have a good or a bad plugin on sharcs.
The operating system in combination with the exellent hardware -put together by a single manufacturer- still is the key for it's succes.
An Intel mac can not be equalled with an Intel pc just because of they use an Intell processor.

Just came back from my weekly badminton sports evening.
A teacher, using mac at home, but confident with pc because of his work, needed a labtop to do presentations on spot, so he got a pc 'powerbook' from scool..
Man, what a troubles he had to get the thing do like it should.
Nothing is 'obvious', you always have to fight and to search and to tweak to get it right, he told me.

I admit I don't have any experience with an Intel mac, but knowing Apple everything is well thought through and tested from day one it's on the shelves, in a way Vista would like to have been the next years...

I prefer a meal put together by one cook in one kitchen, if I eat outdoor :-D

I am writing this on a 533MHz p3 with 320 MB RAM running winXP. I even disabled the swap-file. It runs pretty nice. But then ... my installation disc is less than 200 MB :wink:

NLite is a pretty cool tool ... and so are Firefox, Total Commander, Foxit, WinKey ...

you prefer having a choice of several fast food bars over one good restaurant?
:-D
Seriously, I once had to face that situation.
I had a new girlfriend a few years ago, and we had an appartment in the Ardennes, Belgium.
It was on monday and during touristic downtime that we were looking for a nice place to eat.
Everything was closed, except those typical streetcorner foodbars offering patat (frites) and junk food (of a kind you don't have in the States).
We ended in a chique hotel/restaurant on the top of the mountain, which actually was the only opportunity in the wide surroundings to get something good.
It was good, and expensive, but I didn't mind, as -after all- she was for free.
(kidding, and I still miss her :-D ).
