Re: Slightly Disappointed: A500

@everyone: just my 2 cents worth: I used my Amiga 500 from when I first  bought it with my Tax refund in....(anyone know when the first A500 'bundle' came out, with Tetris, and Where in World is Carmen S.?) I used, expanded, and literally beat that machine to death, only then did I get an A1200.
    That machine gave me much pleasure, sure I can't brag about it to PC-owning friends, but it did what I needed it to do at the time. As for graphics, well it didn't do anything for WB, but I was loading, editing, and saving 'near' 24-bit pics with DCTV unit on my A500 for quite some time....
   And I miss the better (early) game compatibility that the A500 had over the 1200 (Yes, even with WHDload...)
   Only downside IMHO, is some difficulty in finding A500 add-ons....(or A1200 accelerators, or new Amigas, etc. ad nauseum) (Sp?)
