Amiga beauty pageant - how would you rate them?
« on: November 30, 2008, 11:25:46 AM »
Hi,

I was just looking at my A1200 next to a couple of A500s and thought how much better the A1200 looks - even today it's a smart, modern-looking machine...

Then I thought about the designs of the other Amigas, not including towers (universally pc-looking ugly!) or consoles...

Here's how I rate them, and this is based on aesthetics alone, nothing to do with the capabilities that lie under the skin!

1: A3000 (professional and sleek, the best!)
2: A1000 (simply a classic - almost No. 1!)
3: A1200 (modern, sharp lines)
4: A600  (as above, just smaller!)
5: A2000 (1500/2500) (a bit of a bulky tank!)
6: A500  (too big and squashed-looking)

... and the ugly-duckling award goes to the A4000 for looking like a cheap (and shoddily made!) Taiwanese 486 clone!

Pity we can't do polls on Amiga.org (or can we?), as this would be quite a fun one!

Cheers,

Mike.
