+DarkLord Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Well, title pretty well says it all. If you had a choice - which would you choose? I've already got a pretty well maxed-out Falcon 060, with lots of add-ons. You can follow the link in my sig to examine it further. Here is my problem. With a family of five, and an income of 85k a year (wife and my incomes combined) I've not got enough space and can't justify the expense of the FireBee, per se, but surely would like to have one. So, if you were in my shoes, would you keep the tricked out Falcon 060, or sell it (probably by individual components) and use the money (and the Falcon's former space) to acquire a FireBee? Thanks, all thoughts and opinions appreciated. PS and I still want to call it a "FireBeeST"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSociety Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I guess it al depends on the use of the system. I understand the Falcon has some music and video capabilities the TT and lower systems did not. Will the Firebee have the same Falcon capabilities. Since I am not into music stuff, I myself want a Firebee bad. 8-) tj Well, title pretty well says it all. If you had a choice - which would you choose?

Christos Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I would cut down on food which is good both for health and firebee but I wouldn't sell the falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+poobah Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I suspect the Falcon will be compatible with far more software than the Firebee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Don't sell the Falcon you've built! There exists a chance you'll be sorry/never be able to replace it. Besides, it's awesome! With that much income, you can certainly get a Firebee! Put everyone else in on a diet. Get rid of the cell phones and cable TV. If I wasn't going back to school (middle age, no less) myself, I'd be interested in a whole lot of stuff. For someone who's as into the ST/TT/Falcon, just get the damn thing!! Sell your car and buy a piece of shit. You can always get a better one later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wongck Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah... and while at throwing stuff in...threw like 20 or more lines containing "I will buy a FireBeest". I am sure you be lucky enough to pick that one first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new years resolution will be 1280x1024, and hopefully get some coding done on my time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
