@mikebabcock Hey I wasn't trying to suggest that computers were better back then, I was suggesting that it was harder for them to be good!
Though from my reading there's a bit of a distinction to be had with Amiga here: The IBM PCs Microsoft was targeting barely had a graphics chip, Apple omitted them entirely initially.
Amiga had more acceleration.
@alcinnz sorry my response was probably too terse. I just meant that we have rose coloured glasses until we actually boot old hardware and go "oh yeah, the gui sucked on these."
