Yeah, counting just the game boxes I can see from where I'm sitting (31), not counting the ones in the other room where the A1000 is, at an average price of $35 I could probably already have a hard drive on my A2000 if I didn't like games and extra memory and a modem and half a dozen compilers and hundreds of disks for downloads and ... so darn much. RSN. Glad I'm not one of those dweebs who spends all his money on games, pumping up the market, so my opinion can be safely ignored. Some of us out here do lots and lots of different things with our Amigas, including playing games, but we bought the machine to be able to do lots of different things _at once_; sell us what we want to buy!
