The Amiga Is A Toy - By Local Government Official...

You know whats really funny..?

That fact that he was right..

And I don't care how much flame you guys bring in the next replies.
but it IS A TOY because my iphone has more power than your Amiga 1200.
and if my iphone is a toy which it is, how can the Amiga not be.

So you can try to hold on to the niche of it all for as long as you want.
In reality though, which is where the inspector was.

They ARE just a toy. a very expensive toy...

And whatever they "could" do 20 years ago they "can't" do now.

If it's packing a motorola 68040 that's an ex supercomputer cpu. In the old days there were no petaflops, but there were Crays Supercomputers with several 68040s in them.

did some things better than a Megadrive (shit twangy music) pfff (Lotus II is impossible on the SNES) or PC (shit OS that broke at the mere though of multimedia in 1985-1993) and Mac (overpriced single tasking bollox)
/Nintendopes

I second that. The mac looked like it was for simpletons and PC multimedia games were half baked.

I've never heard of Cray using 68040's, they'd be far too slow. NCR did some unix boxes with them, but they were outclassed by intel pretty quickly.

I saw one on a documentary. It had a sign on it, "Cray supercomputer." Next line said, "68040"

Also I heard of a supercomputer - not sure which one using about 8 or 12 68040s, when the 68040 was brand new.
