>As I mentioned in a previous post, it cost a LOT more than $100.
Nope, at the time the flicker fixer was about $100. The monitor didn't cost that much either. I had both, I was not rich, I was a kid who saved up some money.
>Also remember the Amiga was competing with the Mac II line for most of its life.
We're talking about the original Macintosh computer released in Jan 1984, and the original Amiga 1000 released in July 1985. Don't move the goalposts.
The Mac II was not released until 1987, and it had a 68020 CPU. The system you should be comparing it to is the Amiga 2000 with 68020 card. The Mac II was released at a ridiculous price of $3700. It really makes the Amiga look like a bargain - the price for an Amiga 2000 with 68020 was $1495, you could easily buy two of them for the price of one Mac II.
>The Amiga didn't have 24-bit color until 1992.
I don't care? The topic was the original Mac vs the original Amiga 1000. Not wherever you want to take this conversation.
