Comment To an Ex-Amigan this looks good (Score 1) 85
True the Amiga was a games machine with delusions of grandeur, but it managed to be highly competitive in the video market. On the other hand Sony are a huge company which is well managed (Amiga was never well managed). As someone who hates PC based technology with a passion (X86 blows), I am more than willing to look at the fringe systems which may never even become available. Now I'm looking at the Sun MJAC chip and wondering when a workstation powered by it will come out, when I spot that Sony are making a workstation. Of course I'm immediately interested, anyone who detests X86 should be interested. I couldn't care less about compatibilty with PC (though no doubt it will be) As for the guy who thinks that PC technology will have caught up in mid 2000 with the specs of the PS2 HAHAHAHAHA Don't make me laugh Intel are very good at making x86 (but all they do is increase clock speed and occasionally issue more than one instruction) AMD are good at copying Intel A new system is long overdue, and this could be it. I have more faith in Vapourware produced by Sony running a flavour of UNIX, than in X86 powered junk running anything (windows or whatever) Just one thought PS runs Unix variant ever seen one crash, ever???
