Am I the only one who doesn't love AGA chipset?

Let's put things into perspective here.

I remember a family member paid good money for a 286 with 1 Mb RAM, VGA, and no sound card back in '93. There were 486 systems available, but those cost a fortune. The A1200 was certainly more capable than that sorry old Olivetti; it had twice the RAM, a real sound system, PCMCIA instead of the  PC's ISA, and a 32-bit CPU running at a higher clock speed.

From a consumer point of view, the A1200 wasn't really a bad choice.

Personally, I stuck with the '600 as my main computer until 1998, and never bought an AGA machine until I bought one as a retro system a few years back. ^^

Don't understand why anyones got to compare the Amiga or AGA to anything else, seems kinda pointless moaning about AGA and comparing it to VGA and the like. The Amiga range is what it is nothing more nothing less...

Having owned just about every model at one point in time I can only say they were all good in their own way and I ended up sticking with A1200s cos I liked them the best mainly thanks to AGA. I've never actually looked at a PC or MAC with whatever kind of display it uses and thought "I wish the Amiga could do that"...

Why can't folk just accept the miggie for what it was and still is, something that's just a wee bit different from the rest of the crowd and simply make the best of what we were given by the late great Jay Miner & Hi-Toro...

(ok... who's nicked me medal...again... )

We do it because we're a bunch of sad and bitter tards who can't let go and accept that the World kept spinning the last 15 years.
