I hear you… bought an Amiga 3000 in 1992 with the 100 MB hard drive. Thought it would go forever.
Bought Amiga 3000 then also. Few years later, paid 1,000 bucks for a 1 gig hard drive. Now I think 1 tb drive is less than 100 bucks.
Unless big number crunching jobs or processing huge video, or 3d ray tracing projects, or graphic files...most computers are capable of handling the lower res mundane tasks...like e mail, word processing, desktop processing, playing 16 bit audio files, printing, still 16 bit pictures. Was certainly capable of doing that with 16 Mhz Amiga. All at once. Back in 92. Even authored a NTSC video using a genlock and animated Amiga RGB graphics ..very cool for the time..
Its pretty amazing how fast comouters have progressed. Wish i had done thungs different like not feeling driven tk get the “latest and greatest” and learndd tk buy used instead. Woulda saved many many thousands of dollars had we done so. Im looking at a dell 11’th gen on ebay for $200 eh8ch is way fsster thsn anything i had bought previously (thiuhg not as fast or powerful as my diy desktop, which i was able to bui,d for $1300. Bu5 even that is too much ax i felt driven to get latest parts, but was abke to compromise a bit this time lol)
