$199 is half the price of a Wal-Mart low-end pc with XP installed.Makes more sense to buy the cheap pc for those must be Windows office tasks.
The Amiga CDTV was the 500 twin,it was a 16 bit ;the CD32 was based on the later generation chips ,32 bit and twice the clock speed .A CD32 could be made into a A1200. Quite a few Amiga users emulated Macs for work purposes;history seems to repeat!
Me saying that the CD32 could be turned into an Amiga 500...that just shows how much I know about Amigas.
What was that later-release Amiga that didn't include the numeric keypad? Was it the Amiga 600?
$199 was also the final price (after the $50 rebate) of that Wintergreen 2.4 GHz desktop PC I bought on Tigerdirect.com. Really nice computer...it came with Linspire Five-0, which has since been removed and had Xandros 3.0 installed. Only thing I had to add to it was an extra 512 MB RAM (the overall speed of the PC with 768 MB RAM is definitely better than when it had the basic 256 MB RAM).
Linspire with LSongs is a very nice distro, but I can get the same use by installing Xandros, Crossover Office 5.0 Pro, and Apple iTunes (yep, I have iTunes installed on Xandros).
I also like that photo management software Linspire has...LPhoto...but I've managed to install LPhoto on Xandros.
