Common amiga knowledge that's wrong

The incredible graphics that a Voodoo-based PC delivered was just too good to resist.

I agree - the Voodoo4 really delivers excellent graphics - even in my A4k PPC with Mediator PCI busboard...

I killed my first set of WB disks 'just turning it off'.

No idea what was going on, but I shut 'er down just as I simultaneously noted the drive activity light was on.  Booted back up and...NDOS:

It was months before I had a functional set of disks again

Didn't you know what backups are good for back then?
I never used the original disks - aside from making backups from them for every days usage.

The a1200 and a4000 should have had a cdrom drive by default in my opinion. PC's that came out at that time all had cdrom.

Hmmmmm - IIRC Amiga had the first computer that came with a CD-ROM: the CDTV.

Didn't they have a patent on using a CD drive for computing?
If so, I don't understand that they didn't earn enough money from the licenses from all the other manufacturers that subsequently started to fit CD-ROMs into their computers...

Im hard pressed to think of a game on more than 5 floppies that were not hard drive installable. Examples ?

Mario Brothers?
