Was anyone else disappointed with the A1200?

You should've called it "hammer test"

Hardly, they had competitors, ARC, MIPS, PowerPC, Intel (x86, i960, 8051), AMD (x86), SPARC (Leon), Hitachi (SuperH), Zilog (Z80) etc. etc. all available as Synthesisable RTL for your SoC but ARM were just "better" (most of the time). They were either less power or smaller. They offered hardened cores for almost any process technology which saved a lot of time.

@Hammer, you do know, you can multi quote, instead of spamming with like 5 posts, one after another.

But then how would 'we' get to 300 pages?

[Cris1997XX]

Nah, let him spam his random messages. Hopefully he'll get the boot sooner or later

That feature hasn’t been programmed into the A.I machine yet

He hasn't really done anything to deserve that.

Dominant mobile phone Android OS has ARM dominance (Ref 1).

During the 2002 era, PalmOS v5 replaced 68000-based DargonBall VZ for ARMv4T ARM925 with 120 Mhz to 140 Mhz. Dragonball VZ scales from 33 Mhz to 66 Mhz with a very uncompetitive IPC from 68000. 68K being replaced by RISC mirrors 68K's workstation and desktops being replaced by RISC.

Android OS has displaced Windows CE/Windows Phone (ARM, MIPS, X86) and Symbian (ARM, X86).

I'm addressing each "reality distortion field" arguments.

Spamming is defined as:-

To flood (a network, esp. the internet, a newsgroup, or individuals) with a large number of unsolicited postings, or multiple copies of the same posting.

Some of your posts are borderline spam. There doesn't seem to be any specific rule against it here though.

Mobile gaming is chump change. What if Commodore became a casino, and all of the slot machines were driven by an Amiga.

Gambling is good business, or at least a profitable one. According to the American Gaming Association, in 2012 the 464 commercial casinos in the U.S. served 76.1 million patrons and grossed $37.34 billion.

Each year gaming revenues in the U.S. yield more profits than the theatrical movie industry ($10.9 billion) and the recorded music industry ($7 billion) combined. Even the $22.5 billion combined revenue of the four major U.S. sports leagues is dwarfed by earnings from the commercial casinos industry.



Or what if Commodore made trains and railroads?

The Freight Rail Network

Running on almost 140,000 route miles, the U.S. freight rail network is widely considered the largest, safest, and most cost-efficient freight system in the world. [1] The nearly $80-billion freight rail industry is operated by seven Class I railroads [2] (railroads with operating revenues of $490 million or more) [3] and 22 regional and 584 local/short line railroads. [4] It provides more than 167,000 jobs [5] across the United States and offers ancillary benefits that other modes of transportation cannot, including reductions in road congestion, highway fatalities, fuel consumption, greenhouse gases, cost of logistics, and public infrastructure maintenance costs.

Unlike roadways, U.S. freight railroads are owned by private organizations who are responsible for their own maintenance and improvement projects. Compared with other major modes of transportation, railroad owners invest one of the highest percentages of revenues (19 percent) to maintain and add capacity to their system, spending nearly $25 billion annually.

I don't think this rule should apply in this topsy turvy thread though. You guys are reliving the Groundhog Day over and over again, after all. If you make the same argument as you did on page 4, 15, 31, 32, 36, 39, ....134....etc then somebody might reply with the same counter argument. In hammer's case these constitute of the samey-looking blocks of data dumps.

If y'all really want to get rid of him you could try not engaging. Sometimes it works.

They could be considered off-topic and there are rules about that.
