Yeah.... Let's compare....
1985:
PC were Dos based, and was only able to do just above 640k ram in 1985 (sadly no way near 5mb or 10mb or something like that), no GUI as a standard. That might have been avaliable as a third part application, yet Dos it was and Dos it ran out of the box. No sound card, and no GFX acceleration.
Mac.. Well... Black and white GUI. Sound though... Ram I am not sure of.
Amiga's came with 128k, then 256k of ChipRam. Was able to be expanded to 512k ChipRam and was happily expandable up to some 8mb of Ram in total. It had a colour GUI out of the box, and the operating system was a true multitasking operating system. It came with video acceleration out of the box, that was able to run without the use of the CPU, and it had sound as a standard with sample playback. And it had a dynamic Ramdisk that dynamically changed size, depending on what you threw in it. Like it started at 0kb and if you put a document at the size of 10k in it, then the RamDisk changed to 10k in size.
Can someone dig up prices on PC/Amiga/Atari/Mac in okt/nov 1985, just to see what you got for the money?
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
