Stop whining, in 1985 I paid $400 for 256 kilobyte RAM for my Amiga 1000, AND I WAS HAPPY!
You kids nowadays are spoiled, with 100,000 times more RAM if you have an average build with 16 GB RAM and 8 GB VRAM.
But the Amiga was still more fun than modern computers.
Is it me? Or is it the kids that are wrong?
Hmmm… 🤔 …
It must be the kids. 😋

GenerationAmiga.comApollo A6000 review: the ultimate 68K Amiga, rebuilt for the modern age In a retro-computing world increasingly dominated by emulation, software recreations, and nostalgic front ends running on commodity PCs, the Apollo A6000 stWow that’s pretty cool, I thought M68k series ended with 68060!
I still have an old Amiga 500 that my wife bought for me many years ago, because I never shut up about how superior Amiga was back in the day, and how amazing it was to program M68k assembly direct to hardware on it.
The highest power Amiga I ever had was a 68030 expansion card to an Amiga 2000. Then I stupidly switched to PC, because that was the future. But the PC killed my interest in programming, because it’s only semi open, not open like the Amiga was.
