- Yup. I remeber back in 1985 I was sternly warned to 'upgrade' from an
- Atari8bit to an AppleIIe instead of an Amiga because the Amiga was a plstic toy.
- I then mentioned 4096 colors, blitter, multi-tasking, hardware scrolling and
- sprites, advanced audio and was told that was preicsely why I should avoid it as
- only a plastic little toy will ever use stupid stuff like color graphics and
- fast graphics. Now the same exact people go on and on about the great astoudning
- revolutions of color graphics and gfx accelerators, multimedia, etc. brought ot
- us by the greatest of IBM and clone makers!
