Ordered my AmigaOne X5000 from Amiga On The Lake in USA

My apologies as well.
I didn't mean to get sidetracked over my angst about the track personal computing took.

As I intend to buy one of these, I'm particularly interested in hearing about it myself.

Lack of software be damned.

Oh, and game software for the Amiga has NEVER been my focus (European warm NES-like fuzzies or not). It was a damned good productivity machine.

Why would you pay thousands to play video games?

Two words; Virtual Reality.

But yeah, I agree.  It was oddly the same from the Atari side, the ST was definitely more popular in Europe than the US.  Hell, I  have been searching for nearly a year for a US keyboard to replace my UK one on my Falcon.

It was in response to why someone would pay a few thousand for video games.  granted, VR has far more uses as well.

I keep seeing that Falcon up there, it isn't quite worth the 1500 unless it is already moddded / expanded.  I think I got mine for 800, very nice machine out of the box.  Can even play MP3s due to the built in DSP.  My A4000 with an 060 still struggles to do that.

Speaking of 68k, which I also love.  There has been releases of Atari ST enhanced ports to the Atari Jaguar.  There were some questions asking about some Amiga ports to it, but of course those are a bit more difficult due to the custom chipset, where the ST used mostly just plain 68k instructions.

Pretty impressive after all these years to be getting more Jaguar games released.
