People fixated with their CUSA hatred cannot understand your first message.


Why can't you understand that CUSA hating is not a fixation? It's an aggravation, nothing more. For the record I understood the original post perfectly well. You on the other hand stereotyped all the people who don't share your opinion into one group and then insulted them all by implying a lack of intelligence. Way to win friends and influence others, got to respect those people skills.

Anyway, my apologies to B00tDisk for going off topic. To answer the original question; Without the Amiga I think the big C would be remembered with the likes of Sinclair and Amstrad. Good back in the day but all gone now. Amiga was the big opportunity for them and in the end, whatever we think now, they blew it.

Hyperion!


They don't have the name "Amiga", they have "AmigaOS" and "AmigaOne". Your obviously too well mannered to use nasty four lettered vulgarities with a "U" as the second letter..... I understand, it does leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Well after a little Googling I found that the SGI IRIS 2400 came in at a shocking $60,000
For it's day it was f'ing amazing however:

... and gaming pcs would have been crap back then anyway ... CGA/EGA goodness ... mmmmm.


I couldn't agree more. I consider the true rise of the gaming PC to coincide with DOOM, the 486 and the soundcard/CD-ROM "multimedia kit", early 90's.
