I payed USD 1,548.18 for my BPPC/BVision setup in 1998.
If new boards would make it to the shelfs, i am sure it would sell to something close to that price...

Good point. Just for fun, from a previous post, let's replace Amiga references with references to Harley Davidson motorcycles, which are old and slow compared with modern Asian machines:

oh come off it. not today it isn't. it (Harley's) can still be used, and in some rare cases it can sitll be more efficient than a bullet bike, but it's nowhere near something you can call value for money/cost effective. USD 20 000 for outdated hardware? ridiculous.

With logic like that, Harley Davidson is surely doomed.


Comparing it with motorcycles is a good comparison. Its all about the feeling... If you like  Harleys (Amiga) you ride it with a great grin on ya face. And if you like plastic rockets (PCs) you do that to with a grin on ya face...
Like i said, its all about the feeling....
