David…
I'm not sure why your wish list was directed to me, but I have to ask why
you are comparing the low end of the Amiga line to an enhanced, upgraded
pc?
I'm not convinced there is a better $399 computer on the market than the
Amiga 500. CBM still offers the mass market the best value there is. For
$399, a parent can get their kid a color computer that ignites the
imagination, is easy to use, doesn't require all kinds of hardware add-ons
to be put to use, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and doesn't need to be
reconfigured for each piece software run.
Of course I want to see the high end advance, and the technology move
forward. I'd like to see everything you have on your wishlist too.
But the Amiga should not be measured against the PC. PC compatability is
nice, but it should not be what CBM strives for in the Amiga. That would be
a waste of resources. Increased FILE COMPATABILITY across platforms is more
desirable to me than program compatability. When I need or want to run PC
programs, on run them on my PC. Amiga users must start to see the forest
for the trees.
