Nope. I already have an a1200 and for when I want something more powerful I have my amithlon box.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

@Persia
Just curious, but do you *ever* say anything that isnt negative ? Apart from things Apple related that is.

Alien to the system ? They existed before AGA. Heck they existed before ECS. RTG is so much better an experience than custom chipsets. As for superaga, it might be better than AGA(not hard) but I doubt it'll come close to an RTG system. As for new software, I wouldnt hold your breath minus a few showpieces.

It's "funny" though. To program I much prefer ocs/ecs/aga, and I like the idea of seeing what results can be obtained from such a limited source as the custom chipsets, and I enjoy lots of custom chipset games and so on, but for anything remotely serious and/or system friendly (including games that support it) RTG is soooo much better that theyre incomparable. Im not sure some people understand just what a drastic improvement an rtg card is.
