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.

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.

da Vinci using a pencil is not the same as all of us reading here using that same pencil. Everyone using the Amiga just as a toy is simply proving their lack of imagination and talent. It's wasted on them.

There is an even bigger hole in your logic. If you have imagination and talent, why would you limit yourself by sticking with twenty year old technology?
 
NASA wouldn't pick Amiga today. The total cost of ownership is too high.
