I think I actually have that copy of AF somewhere!

Doesn't the article actually question the need for that much computing power?

When you think that you can buy the same CPU for around £90 today....  Makes you think!

You're right there.....  But the Althlon won't fit in my A1200!

Even back then the Amiga was pricey.  I can now see why those A3000UX systems are so rare these days.....

It is a real shame that the Amiga wasn't more of a success, as having a competitive alternative to Intel/AMD/Windows today would be a great thing.  Thinking about it, it's amazing how many people expect you to be MS compatible....

Still, I quite like the idea of being able to plug in standard PCI cards to my trusty old A1200, to take advantage of all the low-cost PC hardware out there.
