That's simply fallacious, there are a huge number of people who collect vintage PC hw/sw. Older x86 systems can be generally as useful as Amigas (linux), in fact, some DOS games were better than their Amiga counterparts (Dune II).
 

How different is our 23 year old system to the current stuff anyhow?

:lol:


Anyway, I agree with persia... Amiga is fun simply because it _IS_ ridiculously outdated and cantankerous. It's a fun tinker toy... but trying to compare an A500 with RAM expansion and blown caps to modern quad core is LUDICROUS.

I have an A4000 with 68060 cv64.  still rediculous?
