It is MUCH easier to design a computer now than in earlier years (comparing the growth of the Mac to the Amiga). Computers are getting outdated faster and faster. Even within the development of a single machine this is evident: the Amiga 2000. The A2000 schematics are hand-drawn while the B2000 schematics are plotted. Undoubtedly part of the reason is that the cost of machines to do that has come down so much. Same with other areas of computer design and manufacture. Technology is growing at an exponential rate. Therefore you can't really make an equal-time analogy between the growth of the Amiga and the Mac.
