I can tell that for me Amiga could be only slightly faster, so my icons would show in screen is real time ;), and I could play mp3 and DVD's using some hardware "acceleration".

Other part of Amiga "future" is in mighty hands of programmers...

70% people could use a "notepad" for writing a documents, 15% could use FinalWriter from 1995 for putting the tables and pictures and basic formatting of fonts, rest could use PageStream 3.0.

Development of computers/electronics is a crap. Now, we can talk.

:D

For me they could produce a A1200/4000 board even today, the same.

My old "CRAPPY" Amiga is taking amazing... 100W (maybe?), today mighty PC based on the most strict ecological crap is like 300W (some even 1000W) WOW. This is development!

Well the CD-32 was selling, maybe Commodore would have become a game console company and then got crushed like Atari when the PSX finally launched.


I'm pretty sure the idea for Playstation came from the CD32 (and the somewhat inferior Sega CD).

Alas, they couldn't make enough CD32s to matter. They just didn't have the capital and supply chain they needed anymore.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

The PS1 came from Nintendo.

Nintendo joined up with sony to develop a CDrom Add-on for the  N64 to compete with the SegaCD, However they couldn't agree on the licensing terms.

Therefore sony went of and mad the PS1

I still use FinalWriter '97 and Pagestream. It does the job.. and loads VERY fast on an '060.

Instead of AGA, this would be a Geforce8800 but the name would be AmigaForce8800 (be with you!)
