- Hey, the Amiga had 4096 at once when the MAC was still B&W. IT had a blitter
- when the MAC was still running only a slow 68000, etc.

- And just how was the Amiga a toy? It had a faster CPU, color graphics, 4
- voices in hardware, autoconfig, a better OS including a shell (except for the
- GUI part which was worse than the MACs for quite some time), advanced custom
- chips, faster floppy drives that held more info and it was much less
- expensive. If you call a blitter and color gfx a toy as everyone did then,
- then don't come around talking about 3D SVGA chipsets, etc.
