Yes, the Amiga has been out for years now, before the IIGS. The Amiga also
costs much less than the IIGS. When the IIGS came out, everyone had high
hopes that it would offer much in the way of being competative with the
Amiga. For too long had our graphics and sound lagged behind other machines,
even such machines as the C64! But what did we get? Nothing...Our graphics
are still very poor, only on par with the Atari ST, but not even that because
of the agonizingly slow speed that we have to put up with. Our sound? The
Amiga still has much less noise in their samples. Diversi-Tune, a representative
of the best samples achievable on the IIGS, still pales beside the Amiga. What
happened Apple? Give us a machine we can be proud of again. Lets see a COU that
will lay the aging Amiga to rest once and for all.
