My two cents on who bought the amiga when the price range was
1.5K. I did, and I would hardly call my self as having lots of
money. Mostly, I was a college student trying to get a machine
which was cheap, colorful, and would do my math graphics that
I loved so much. I got it. I also got a machine which taught me
an incredible amount about operating systems.
What I did not get was what I really wanted, a machine which,
as someone else had mentioned, would be completely upgradable.
I don't care at this point, I can program it to do exactly what
I want to do.
Another comment to rack mounting 3 amigas. I like this idea,
but someone had mentioned that the individual amigas would only
have to take care of one bit plane. This is not true. 1 bit plane
would allow only 2 colors, the background and foreground. If there
were going to be 32 different shades of a single color
(impossible by the way 4 bit color registers), then you would need the
full 5 bit planes.
If anyone gets this rack mount thing to work, let me know. Also,
anyone know of a video board which will do 1024x1024x8 which will
work on any amiga?
