I find it interesting that the gaming market is one of
the
main defining markets for current PC hardware...the very market that
PC users used to scorn. I've always thought it was stigma that was
unfairly applied to the Amiga, even if it was better at it than the
PC's of the same time period.
Good point -- name something that the Amiga didn't do better...

And thusly Douglas H. Quebbeman spake:
The Amiga was doing "desktop publishing" *before* the term
was coined!
In what year do you place this revisionist history? People were
casually using the term "Desktop Publishing" in 1985, the year
the Commodore Amiga A1000 was launched...
Ok... So when the Amiga was released, it put desktop publishing on the map.. :)
But, I place this date when I had my A500 and did some brochure design work.
