Stupid thing is that there's stated that all three systems have multitasking, as if the cooperative multitasking of the Apple is equal to the preemptive multitasking of the Amiga. That's like equating windows 3.0 with Windows NT 4 :roll:

I'll admit that many years ago, about the time the A1200 came out and I got mine ( I think I paid around $599 US dollars) and that was around 1994.  I remember going into the one and only Atari computer store in town here and they had this "new" Atari ST falcon on display.  

They stated in the link: "However, models with hard drives were used for comparison purposes."
I guess this is why they state such high prices.

They had a "Demo" running on it.  It had what looked like true color pictures and there was some pretty awsome realtime effects being done to the pictures.  Stuff I still have never seen my Amiga's do.
Weren't the Atari Lynx, Falcon and the Jaguar been made by former Amiga engineers? :-)

The A3000 was supposed to be released with AGA and a DSP, but you know C= always trying to mess around with their R&D dept, cutting funding, delaying projects, etc..
Damn, that would have blown everyones socks off back in the day. Too bad it didn't happen :-(
