    You're confusing Trump with that faketimcook guy.

    Journalists have probably tracked down an instance of somebody arrested in China who they can make a claim like that about. China is a big country, and there are plenty of Canadians there.

  4. He isn't. January 20, 2017 happened.

  5. Yet we are not allowed to be offended that you refer to our President as a dotard in a playpen.

    The Dems don't want to talk about the stuff the 'emails' revealed about how their leadership runs things. They want to shriek about how awful it is that the emails were revealed. Not what was revealed.

    I would contend that almost none of the crappy PC clones had CGA cards. Things went Hercules pretty quickly, and then EGA. The CGA was an early phenomenon.

    The PC clone was indeed made up out of catalog parts. Not even in a way that makes complete sense. The 8250 wasn't the best choice for a serial interface. And there was very little from Motorola aside from the 6845 CRT controller.

  8. But double the tax on missing vowels and abbreviations like 'u'.

    If they're advertising for RF design engineers, they are way behind. You can't just roll technology like that out from scratch. It's beyond most 'digital' people to do something that analog very well.

  10. Unless you had an AT&T 6300. 8086 with a real 16 bit bus!

  11. Terminating 50 ohm resistors.

  12. I am pretty sure there is a Doom cart for the Gameboy Advance,

    Commodore, Atari, etc. had to depend on there always being department stores to sell their plastic cased consumer appliances into. The PC market had morphed into mom and pop shops selling cheap clone hardware out of storefronts.

    Being a cluster of ASICs is what did the Amiga in. It allowed enhanced in the early period, but could never, ever scale when the megahertz wars began. Then, the architecture had to move to the same commodity chips as everything else. A bunch of ASIC chips with girls' names couldn't just double in speed over and over.

    Doom and Quake required VGA. You are jumping all over in history. We could say, truthfully, that the Amiga plugged into a tv set. It did, for a time.

    Now you are sounding like a 'hater.'

  25. You make a whole handful of half baked comparisons there.

    For example, 'incompatible' has precise meaning that you never come even close to grasping. Your professor would say 'simplify, try agsin, without working at being clever.'
