Hex Crime 1984
« on: Thu, 02 September 2010, 13:53:17 »
Except it's BASIC... sigh.  Anything for a cheap joke.

Found some 1984 benchmark results and thought they might prove entertaining.

Also, check out the system advertised on the back page: that price is the entry model.  High-spec unit price is right near the end.  Ahahaha.

Apologies for the big images, but I wanted to get the text readable.

Enjoy:

A Motorola 68000 computer with a hard drive running (single user) UNIX in 1984. That would blast everything featured on that benchmark so far out of the water it wouldn't even be funny. Of course, the Amiga 1000 came out only a year later also with a 68000 and it would crap all over that thing's video capabilities on half the price.
