I had an Amiga 2000/14 MHz, 512k ram, 80 MB HD, a DOS card and a Flicker Fixer card. Amiga could multitask better than present day Macs(-: All the Amigoids would translate Mac into money (is) all (that) counts. On an Amiga in 1988, I could do real time video editing that only now has come to the Mac. Animation software then like Deluxe Paint costs $ 75 and the equivalent Mac programs today are usually > $ 1000. I unloaded my Amiga on eBay in 1999 and also had an LCII.
