But they don't run OS4!


And your £1800 486 does?

Perhaps you should re-read my posts as I have no idea whatsoever as to the reason why you would ask me such a question. But, I'll still answer it anyway.

No, of course not, Sam's and X1000's do that.

In the days of the £1800 486 I bought an Amiga 1200 (I still have the very same A1200 now) and my 486 is long gone. My whole point in the first place was yes, it is very expensive, however, years ago I was willing to pay that sort of cash for a 486 because it did something I desired. Nowadays the X1000 costs £1800 to do something I desire. What's the difference? The fact that now I can buy a cheap PC is irrelevant, they can't run OS4. So to sum up:

Past: 486 runs DOOM and costs £1800, A1200 costs £300 and does not: I bought both because I had the cash.

Now: X1000 runs OS4 and costs £1800, PC costs £300 and does not: I got the PC because I don't have the cash but when I do I'll gladly buy an X1000 too (in the meantime I've still got 5 classic Amigas to play with anyway).


Lets see... your £300 PC can still run DOOM and your £300 Amiga is not less useful than it was 20 years ago... right? ;-)
