So for 128 times less hardware 'power', youd expect to pay 128 times less money, right?


I'll sell you my 1997 Ford Escort for 50.000 Euro then, it's got 10% of the power of a Bugatti Veyron (worth 2 million), so when it would be new, it would have costed you 200.000, but I'll take off 75% since it's 10 years old.

Seriously, what were you doing here again?

Currently writing this on a XP3400 mate. Sure, not the latest but I'm not stupid enough to buy a new PC every three months.

Apparently you don't understand the fact that we use Amigas for the FUN that it gives us. Not because we think they are way better than modern x86 machines. Using an Amiga is just like owning a classic car. It's not as fast as a new car, not as safe as a new car, spare parts are expensive, it breaks down more often sometimes and you need to have quite some knowledge to keep it running, but it's far more FUN than just driving a brand new boring Toyota Corolla..

So when you come in, laughing at the Amiga and thinking you can have one for free, we shove you back to your little pc corner to think again.
