Now you've opened a can of arguments ;-)

Recently the Amiga silently sneeked back into our living' after being absent for too many years.

While using the old Apple (OS9) to browse the internet I see my wife playing online-games on her not so old Mac (OSX). Most of them are simple 2D games. I said: There's no use having a high-power consuming Mac for those games, the Amiga had exactly the same games with the difference of them being about 1 Meg in size, not 40. The difference being they need only 7 MHz to run, not 700. The difference being that they do NOT hick-up every now and then. Then she made a mistake... she dared me to show that those old machines could do the trick ;-).

Now, that was a dare I'd loved to take up. So... an A2000 at 68020/14 walked in... and I took back home my A4000T (that last one hasn't been connected yet as I've got no monitor capable of using the Amiga's output neither do I have a RGB->SCART cable.

Now she's seen the machine in action and asked the question I've been asking myself as well: Why oh why did the Amiga die.
Get a SAM, while you can! The new AMIGA is here!
