The Amiga came along at a time when I felt I had outgrown the Acorn range of machines, the Electron
User group was being taken over by someone else and Commodore had gone bust. The machine was going
for a song...The Amiga 1200 had a multitasking operating system similar (and in my opinion better) to Acorn Archimedes range of machines. It also offered new challenges such as Internet access. Upgrades for this machine include a Blizzard 020 accelerator with 4Mb of RAM which was eventually replaced by a Blizzard 030 with 8Mb of RAM and a CD ROM drive which plugged into the PCMCIA slot. Unfortunately this machine soon bite the dust, it just didn't have the oomph required for the 'net. with a decent screen resolution you were limited to 256 colours and a modem speed of 14.4K. So I'm afraid to say it gave way to a 486 PC...build by myself from individual components.
