When Amiga was completely out of the market somewhere in 1997-98, the president of Apple stated in an interview that he was scared witless of the Amiga. He said that computer was offering better performance, graphics, sound capabilities for less than half the price of pc/Apple computers... He was relieved to find Commodore's obsolete marketing strategy for the Amiga that had to "market itself".
But we know what it was like.

Hi Eichenlaub, because of this thread I installed WinUAE with Amiga in a Box (AIAB) on my PC this morning. It runs good on the PC and brings back all those great memories of the Amiga without having to climb up into my loft and dig out my old Amiga 1200.
Regards
Nemo
