 Well it is!! 8-) I mean there is no Ugly Box that looks like a cross
between a VCR for size, and a washing machine for colour and texture. It's
just a Keyboard, and there are no cards in the thing either, Although I
don't need 296,000 coulours out of 16 million (Heck, I can't recognise
people across the road) every 1200 has that, so the programs don't need 5
meg to translate code for different cards. It
has good things like Auto-config which means I just plug stuff in like
drives and unplug them, and the amiga knows what is going on without being
told with CMOS or anything like that.  And it is so fast when multitasking,
I ran 50 programs once, and there was no loss of speed. The ones no being
used didn't slow me down, and they were not iconised at all.

 RS> unspeakable Amigas even deined to uses them at times too, like the A590
 I never had a hard drive for my 500, that was I think 10 years ago, I
didn't have much money. First time I got a hard drive was in my 1200, it
was free. What a breath of fresh air to get away from floppies!!! I think
all computers should have a hard drive interface on the Printed circuit
board, then everyone would get one.
