Normally could care two shits less for anything Yahoo! (thanks for pointing this out though as I'd have never seen it) but what was with the PAL marketed Amiga 1000 pic?

Weird.

I agree, but it was cool to see the Miggy in a featured article for once on Yahoo instead of always Apple lol.  Just too bad it was one talking about the past and not the future.

Picture 4

"DUCK HUNT -- See the duck. Shoot the duck. Repeat. It might seem silly today, but this NES classic was a big deal back in '85. Whether you played it as the B-side to Super Mario Bros. or as a stand-alone disc, we're betting you loved it. Until that irritating dog drove you bonkers."

When did the NES use discs?

I believe there was a short lived disk drive for it in Japan.

Here's the text that goes with the image JJ.

AMIGA COMPUTER -- Unplug that Commodore 64, folks -- the future is now, and it's called Amiga! Okay, so it didn’t exactly work out like that. But the Amiga 1000 was ahead of its time as a multimedia computer and enjoyed lots of great games, including games based on Back to the Future II and III.
