It is a little unfair to heap Amigas in with the C64 and the BBC. Heck, there
are Amigas available (admittedly not yet in NZ) that have comparable speed
to the SUN sparc stations we use in the elec eng dept here.
Considering you lack of knowledge of Amigas (which at a guess is based on
the observation of Amiga 500s only, which btw are faster than the basic
8MHz 286) it is not suprising that you have no knowledge of software
either.
