In some schools they require an iPad for the ebook app that schools use for books and other things. It does not run on the PC. So Apple has a lock-in there. People are stopping buying PCs for mobile devices like smart phones and tablets.

I misread it as UI chip, as in it handles the User Interface and frees up the CPU for other things. But it is the U1 chip instead.

Atari like Commodore didn't market their new systems that much. It was mostly magazines and word of mouth. At least in the USA it was that way. Still they both controlled the home computer market in the 8 bit areas.

I had an Atari Lynx and about 30 games. I had a carrying case and wall adapter as well because it ate batteries like crazy. I gave it to a friend who had a computer museum. There is an emulator for Lynx games here: https://ataria

AmigaDOS was developed on SunOS Workstations that were modified. I don't think the Zorro bus was as good as ISA or PCI and the A600 was like you said it was. The Amiga needed a networking adapter to work with networks and Apple Macs la

The Amiga had emulators to run DOS and Mac software. Sort of the OS/2 effect where they ran DOS and 16 bit Windows apps so there was no need for native OS/2 apps. Commodore had a nickle and dime marketing plan and made PC clones a

It is more of a denial of service for Gab because they allow anything on their site instead of policing it like Hacker News here and having a code of conduct. Gab went to Mastodon to be part of the federated universe but federated apps bloc
