- You mean the large hard drive that by itself costs more than an Amiga?
- Damn, it's really a scam that Commodore doesn't give them away free.
-
- Let's see, to run OS/2 you need:
-
- a hard drive that by itself costs more than an Amiga.
- 8MB of RAM that cost more than an Amiga.
- an 80486 that costs more than an Amiga.
- a monitor that costs more than an Amiga.
- and a BIG case an power supply. At least that's cheap.
-
- Hasn't it occurred to you that you're talking about a computer that costs
- several times what our Amigas cost... and you have to really scrape to find
- advantages. There's something wrong with this picture.
