I first got into Amiga's with the Vic 20. When I heard rumors of the A1000 I bought one as soon as it came out.
6 Amigas and a career path later, I switched to Wintel boxes, why? Because I have business sense.
I still have three loaded Amigas (1000, 2000, 4000) in a box and just recently pulled the A4000 out for benchmarking (for an article I'm writing). As much as I long for the good old days, I still wonder why?
My blackberry has a 347Mhz Processor, 64mb RAM, wireless with 3 or more browser applications. Supports Excel, Word, and a number of other formats. Event he screen resolution beats the first Amiga's! I drop this phone on the floor five times a week and don't care.
It's hard to think I can make anything of an amiga that can't beat my cell phone if I put $10k into it.
Still in love with the idea of the Amiga though. So you can go easy on the flames.
