    All I can say is wow.  I guess I will have to see more 1200's in action. 
They sound like good machines that people are always torn on wiether to keep in the keyboard and computer in one design, or break out from that and start expanding.
 
    Reminds me of my Atari 1040 STE.  :)  (Expanded to 4 meg.. blah blah
blah...)
 
    Yeh, sounds like the Amiga is either the parallel for the 1040STE or the
Falcon.  Not sure which yet.
