Well yea they made a few mistakes with A1200, but it still was a nice machine.
Being it a nice machine is not relevant. I have an A1200 as my main Amiga and I love it. But it is by far not the best thing that happened to the Amiga.
The A500 has been mentioned in this thread, as has been the videotoaster. Both of them I can accept as being extremely important milestones for the Amiga as a computing platform. The A1200 isn't. Without the A1200, Amigacomputers would still be loved as cultmachines from the past as much as they are loved now.
Without the A500, the Amiga would hardly have existed as a viable computing platform during the late eighties/early nineties.
Same for the videotoaster. Without it, the Amiga would not have had a fraction of the amount of succes in the videoediting business as it has had.
