Super rare Amiga 1200! Black, comes with a tower, 6800 chipset, 5.25" floppies, and a home made OS

Just be glad Apples product placement- marketing team didn't swoop down and have them replace the Amiga 1200 with a MAC LCII.

The mention of the FPS being ahead of it's time was pretty cool. You'd need a 030/50 mhzt and AGA to get doom at a good rate. Try that on an LCII. Wolfenstein 3d was pushing it.

Who knew that Motorola's 8-bit 6800 chip was capable such impressive graphics and animation?  This is the most anachronistic Amiga-related thing since the eBay auction for the "1979" Amiga 1000 advertisement.   -Dave

I showed this to a friend today.  He understood, but I know I will have to explain it to some people, so I decided I would brain-barf here.

Simply put, the reason I despise television shows like this is not because they give crap information about a system which is personal to me.  I would have been equally disgusted if they had shown an Atari 800XL with a Zilog Z8 "chipset" or such ilk.  The bottom line is that someone gets paid to write these shows, then someone gets paid to consult and fact-check.  A quick minute or two on Wikipedia, FFS, could have provided plenty of ACCURATE information.

This makes any other "realistic" information in any such show immediately lose credibility.  Yes, I know, fiction, and all that, blah blah.  So for those who can immerse themselves in a story built upon inaccurate information, please, do enjoy.

Oh, then there is how every computer operation has to "beep" or some kind of drive clicking noise as accompaniment.  My friends laugh at me, but I cringe watching rubbish like that.

So there!

How did they get Workbench to appear somewhat correctly and everything else so wrong? :-)

Fact checking isn't the arduous task it used to be.
