I am not an Amiga user yet, although I can tell you that you are mistaken 
about their graphics capabilities being behind.  The classic old examples of 
what Amigas can do in this arena is demonstrated when you watch Seaquest and 
Babylon 5 episodes.  All of the animations on those shows are done with 
Amigas connected to NuTek Video Toasters.
But perhaps you are talking about ordinary old video resolution on the 
monitor at home.  I couldn't say.  Animation on a Pentium I understand is 
laughable compared to what ordinary old Amigas were doing 6-7 years ago.
Then again, that's not my territory.
Why do you speak of Commodore 8-bits with such past tense sentiment?
There is a brand new device that has just been unleashed in the past two 
weeks that I've been waiting for for nearly a year to receive.  It is called 
the SuperCPU.  It simply snaps into the cartridge port on the back of any C64 
or C128 (ye olde plug 'n' play) to instantly transform it into a 20 MHz 
machine! This is literally a dream come true for users of this platform!  I 
now have the raw processing power of a 386/SX25 although it doesn't get all 
bogged down trying to run GEOS like a 386 does when it tries to run Windoze.  
We're talking instantaneous point and click action here!  Zip in, zip out, no 
wait!
If you couple one of these accelerators with a RAMlink (battery-backed, 
RAM-based storage unit that can hold up to four 4MB SIMMS) you've got one of 
the fastest computers around on any platform!  Loading executables from a 
RAMlink is lightning fast and the SuperCPU is no less amazing when running 
them.  There is really a lot that can be said for the "old" Commodore 
computers in the 1990s thanks to the amazing efforts of Creative Micro 
Designs - our foster parent company.  If you haven't worked with one of these 
things since the 80s, you really have no clue what they're about anymore!
But again, this is a music composition echo!  Please post me via private 
Netmail or via Internet email for more info on this topic.
