What do the numbers mean?

[sim085]

Hi,

I guess this may sound like a stupid question; but what do the numbers given to the different Amiga's out actually mean. I mean what does '500' mean in the A500 or the '1200' mean in the A1200? From where did they get these numbers? I am not sure if my question is clear. I am just interested to know what made them call their products like that!

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks for all the replies. Deep in my heart I always felt that the numbers must have had some type of meaning but could never understand what. Now I know they where meaning less
