486/Pentium I, Win95/98, cheap cost of HD's, modems and the various graphics/sound cards made my 020/4mb A1200 seem pretty outdated. Didn't help at all that the few stores left that carried Amiga stuff did not have the software support the IBM had. That was around the time all the Amiga mags were spelling certain doom for Commodore and I went to the dark side. A few years after that, I was totally sick of the headache that is the IBM/Micro$oft platform and went back to the Amiga. Perfect timing really, because by then, we had awesome graphics cards, (expensive as always) CPU cards, etc. that now made and continue to make a PeeCee seem like the overly out_of_date platform that it is (to me anyway).
