   What, you mean the fact that the Amiga still gives you more bang for the buck
   than any other personal computer? Isn't that the point?

My point(answer to the original poster) was that the original Amigas
were in a cheaper market than the original $8000 NeXT's.  That is why
Commodore sold more machines in the Amiga's first year, or at least my
reasoning.
