Is this a question, or merely an expression of ones thoughts... :)

Adding an extra Paula Sound Chip to just the A4000 as well as being impractical would also have made it incompatible with other Amiga models... :(

PS: Gertsy did John catch the 8:7am train !!! and where was he going ??? :D

It's funny how after all this time folk still ask these questions and with the benefit of hindsight suggest a lot of what ifs and if only's... :)

We all know the story and who was to blame, it would be much better to support and encourage current & real Amiga teams & projects like NatAmi, AROS, MorphOS, MiniMig, X1000 etc... rather than mull over the past and sit here procrastinating on just what should have been done... :)

Hindsight and opinions of the past while interesting aint gonna benefit no-one in our dwindling community. Seems to me as much as I love everything Commodore & Amiga, that all the time taken to make these posts about the Amigas past history would be much better spent on encouraging the aforementioned "live" projects and keeping them in the spotlight and generally encouraging the few developers we have left... :)

Just my two bobs worth... ;)

(either that or bash the hell out of CUSA again just to liven the place up a wee bit... :D)

We can't do both?? :)

I see this as the same type of interest in reading "alternate history" type books.  What ifs...
It is fun to read a book that imagines that Babbages Difference Engine WAS built and used and there's a whole culture around it..
Doesn't mean I can't also SLAM Ada Lovelace as a really weak programmer..

er..  :confused:

That analogy didn't actually work very well..  But you get the point.. :roflmao:

desiv


Very true... :D

And even with that analogy I get your point... ;)
