I don't agree. The A1200 is a nice machine, but it was too little, too late and therefor definitely not the best thing that happened to the amiga.
Well yea they made a few mistakes with A1200, but it still was a nice machine. At the time they could easily have gone with a faster CPU maybe even a 68040 with a socket later to be ugradeable with 68060 and put simm slots inside the machine. This would have brought the price up quite a bit, but I think it would have been worth it. They should have also gone with a more traditional monitor output as the use of TV as a display had been long since forgotten + 50 and 60Hz monitors makes your eyes bleed
