Try comparing the 7 MH of the A500 or my inflated 50 MH A1200 to the 1.1 GH of my pc - and I even have a poor pc by today's standards! By now, it's all about how those computers fitted your history and how you keep that memory alive. Certain golden rings have faded, but many have remained and as long as I play those games a few times a year, I'm alright! 
But I am glad so many of us are veterans of the early days. As a matter of fact, together we must have sunk millions of ships over our careers since the mid-eighties.

You're right Eichenlaub, PC's have come on a long way since the days of the Amiga 500. However, at the time the Amiga 500 was the better machine compared to the PC, with a superior OS and graphics. It's a pity Commodore didn't market the Amiga line better and allow third parties to manufacture compatibles and supply the machine with an inbuilt hard drive (all that floppy disk swapping used to drive me mad). If this had happened, who knows, it might not be an IBM clone sitting on most desks today but an Amiga clone.
