"It could do more with less CPU horsepower than any other PC before or since. One wonders what their engineers could have done with a 64-bit Opteron, 1 GHz Hypertransport and 16 gigabytes of DDR RAM. :-)"

It sure could. I could play a 12 bit, 8 channel music module on a 7Mhz Amiga and do disk IO all day without a single hiccup or glitch. My freakin' 1Ghz PowerBook can't even import music from a CD without making iTunes burp and fart all over itself.

I miss my Amiga. It was fun.
