I liked the article too and remember the Games Master magazine comparison from the time. The A1200 was still the machine to get because of the Amiga software support. In terms of hardware the A1200 was a disappointment and you could argue that the Falcon was better hardware out of the box. The A1200 should have had a high density disk drive (if not a small hard drive), an upgraded Paula and fast ram as standard in 1992. By 1993 a 030 version should have been available. By 1994 a CD-Rom bundled 030 machine with AAA or chunky capable AGA/Akiko to support the CD32 software market and keep Commodore afloat.

TOS on the ST was my first GUI experience and was fine for what it was. Nothing compared to AmigaOS obviously but I have to say using MacOS 9 with the Puck iMac Mouse was absolutely soul destroying, unresponsive and the mouse was the worst I've ever used. It put me off Macs for another 8 years!
