Atari vs Amiga article

Frankly, I wouldn't mind owning a blitter equipped Atari, but they sell for a fairly high price (particularly the '30 models).

I'd say that doom runs pretty well on a stock falcon!  how well does it run on a stock A1200?

Wow, the blistering performance of a 16 MHz '030 contrasted with the mundane performance of a 12 MHz '020.
Still laughing my ass off about that one.

And I can find and buy an A1200 (although I think I'd rather have the New Jersey '030 equipped A2000 that is on eBay right now for about $60).
Locating a rare as hen's teeth Falcon is far too difficult (AND pricey).

I think I'd just dig up an A1200 and add an easily obtained accelerator.

AAA, and then Hombre, are you all still sure Dave Haynie was some kind of genius?
For crying out loud, couldn't they just get their act together and release some kind of upgrade?

Dave Haynie had nothing to do with AAA or Hombre, he got stuck with putting together the Nyx motherboard for AAA at the end when commodore were pretty much dead.

That doesn't seem to be the case as patents held by Haynie are used in both projects.
