This must be what they mean by "an old flame".

Considering where we are, can there be much doubt about the opinion...

Sounds like we were in the same boat. Back then I was a big Atari 8-bit fan.. even started and ran the local Atari Usere' Group.  I felt the 64 was garbage :-) cheaply made, but popular with the masses who valued price above quality.  When the Mac, Amiga and ST came out...  Well the Mac was out because it was too expensive and B&W only.  The Amiga had a better OS than the ST, better graphics, was genlockable, and was generally 'cooler' :D  no choice...  So, I gave up my user group and went Amiga, and took some good-natured ribbing... and gave some.
