“By far, the most robust and usable computer system I have owned over the past 35 years of computer use was an Amiga 2000/Model-100 combination that ran faster, did more, and failed less than my current bull crap laden Windoze XP system, which is an endless headache of tinkering and pleading.  Bring back the Amiga 2000 AND the Model-100!!!”

— C. Davey

“Me, personally, the ATARI ST, was the best of it’s kind, it was innovative, fast, well faster then the IBM, at that time. Graphics were probably the best at that time.”

— Jesus G.
