How did you first get into computers?

[Slayer]

But anyway, the Amiga IS the only cpu

just the cpu?:roll:

It's probably just me but when I refer to the actual processor I call it 020 etc when I use cpu I generally use it for an abbreviation of "computer" as in complete main unit.

Surely being used in the above context you must have got the feeling I was referring to the entire computer?

If I'd meant the central processing unit I would have said something like, the Amiga has a FAST 060 cpu...

On a multilingual board I doubt anyone uses concise proper english at all times... take it easy Hell Labs

CPU = Central Processing Unit

Many computers can use the same CPU and still be different computers therefore flawed argument.

I believe the Sega Megadrive and the A600 shared a very similar CPU revision.




PS... I'm only half serious . Please, nobody start a flame war.

On the first genesis it used the same CPU as a A500 and 1000..
