A friend had an Amiga around 1990. It was ahead of its time, especially in graphics, but I think it's a helluva stretch to say that the windows computers now are where the Amigas were around then.
What aspects of modern computing do you give Microsoft credit for?You will find you are giving Microsoft credit for 3rd party hardware advancements.You would be amazed at just how much Amiga pioneered the industry.All with it's own hardware. Feel free to get shot down though :)
Yeah tandy 1000, my family got it as a hand me down computer from some family, since my parents were fairly computer illiterate. Battlechess, striker, sopwith good times
Granted but you have to give Apple credit for taking these ideas that were given to them by Xerox and running with them. And then you have to give Microsoft credit for taking the ideas given to them by Apple and running with them.
