Awesome mate, you have one hell of a setup. I toyed with the idea of buying a Falcon again just to put a CT60 in it as a bit of a play thing. Falcons are still pretty expensive though!
I prefered Magic aswell mate. Along with Jinnee as my desktop
Im unsure if you can get the CT60 anymore?
I have the CT63 - Unlike the CT60, this just plugs in, and will take more RAM, and has better support for even more add-ons such as Czuba's 3xPCI Slots, Ethernet and USB etc... plus its 90 / 100Mhz so its much faster.
This is my 3rd Falcon I have to admit. I have had the TT for some time and while the Falcon can do tricks that make many PCs squirm in pain, the CPU itself is dire and ofcourse compared to the TT, it shows how poor it really is, and I got rid of them in favour of the TT.
Now though, I just needed the audio capabilities of the Fal;con and the speed was not really THAT much of an issue, however, the CT63 came along and I thought why not?
Magic v6.2 + Jinnee v2.5 - No better O/S in my books. Especially if you use GemScript, you can make any add-on you like, and while Windows may look nice etc there simply isnt enough power for me.
Plus of course having each file type in any colour you like has been a really silly and fun thing that I find ridiculous for a PC to not have.
And as for PC Disk protection... what a shambles that is!!!
Just chuck your PC HD into an Atari, and what does it do?
It says that the disk is protected, shall I deleted the protection?
Click on Y
Then it tells you that soem of the folders have passwords, shall I deleted the passwords?
Click on Y
Bingo... So much for Microsofts heavy protection eh?
And with MiNT, its even easier. You just select to ignore it and you can do anythign you like to any of the files, no matetr how well protected it is.
Pathetic!
No, I would never dowithout my Ataris and even these days, people come to play on the LAN and they are blown away by a 20 year old computer playing Movies, Raytracing and doing all kinds of D2D Digital Audio work that stock PCs simply cannot do without specialised hardware... It kind of shuts them up.
Either way, my Atari Falcon is faster at browsing, EMails, Office work, and general every day use than any of my PCs are by a fair margin too. The only thing that my PCs do quicker, is Prime Numbers and 3D stuff. - Hell I recon SuperPI on the Atari would be measured in years. and as for just getting a ball to bounce, or a game, we are talking FPD ( Frames per day ) - Only joking cos Doom & Quake etc are all available on the Falcon are they not?
