Well it's got armoured plating n wires n stuff. And a military 68000. Apparently. So is it hack proof? EM shielded? What? I have no idea either. |

Ok, since some of you don't go to Amiga.org (bless you), I guess it needs a little explaining.
There's a guy called DoomMaster there who's quite the know-it-all, often sprouting misinformation (acting like it's the 100% undisputable truth) and refusing to be corrected when he's mistaken. "You do NOT know what you're talking about" He insists that all ceramic chips are mil spec (and you know there's many chips with a ceramic casing), and it's pretty much a running gag now at Amiga.org.. That A500T the link was for is what he reckons the only right way to tower an A500, it doesn't really have all that many upgrades to it.. I guess it's got potential for the future, but it isn't exactly the beefiest A500 out there. :-) But well.. If you don't know, don't worry. You haven't missed all that much. :-) Last edited by Jope; 02 September 2004 at 18:25. |

Why do people spend so much time towering an A500 when you can just get an A2000 and be done with it?
I can see towering an A1200 because the A4000T are rare and expensive, but the 500/2000 are both cheap. Another point is if you are going to tower a 500 I assume you want to add cdrom/HD and other equipment, if not why take the 500 out of its nice case to begin with? |

I prefer to use WinUAE instead of putting my 500s into ugly towers.

Part of that was description was "Linux users used to display symptoms very frequently before Linux started winning"
Winning??? See how many Linux machines are used in a typical home versus Macs. I live in New York and know tons of people. Never seen a single Linux box. Seen hundreds of Macs. More so than PC's. Maybe in corprate and other important servers, an amoung geeks, Linux reigns. But.."winning???" |

There are "abnormal" amount of Macs in New York as far as I heard from a mate of mine.

I also think people notice the macs when they are encountered because PCs are all over the place and common. As far as linux on the desktop goes, they don't have the marketshare of even Apple. Winning is subjective, if Linux wants to win any race they should enter the special Olympics and train real hard. |
