PAR It's phenomenal

Trust me, Amiga-heads wonder about the answers to these same questions, over and over, endlessly. To Vulcan-like techies, it seems "obvious" that superior technology should rise to the top and become the most popular. That doesn't always happen. In some ways, the PC market is entirely amorphous and sluggish. Although it's changed in major ways several times since the Amiga arrived, from 8088 to 80286, to 386, to 486 and now Pentium, from ISA to EISA to PCI, from CGA to EGA to VGA, it's rarely made significant improvements in areas known to be lacking: interrupt contention, DMA bus speed, video output. I like the Amiga, but if I look back on the past nine years, I've made more money in the PC and Windows market.
