       | I owned an Amiga 3000T in the early 90's. This review matches my
       | experience except my keyboard didn't die and the PSU fan wasn't
       | loud.

       | The Amiga 3000 is a machine with a place in history. It was one
       | of the first consumer computers that was truly 32 bit, with 32
       | bit memory, 32 bit address space and 32 bit expansion slots. It
       | could drive typical VGA monitors and it had incredibly fast SCSI
       | for its time. The A3000T kept all the advantages and added more
       | space for everything.

       | It's such a shame that it couldn't have been a product offered by
       | a sane company :(

         | thankfully, there was the $600 atari 520st that you could plug
         | into the tv if you had to.

         | amigas always seemed like they were mismatched to the market.
         | obscenely expensive for hobbyist or kids' machines, but not
         | really suitable to the business/prosumer market. (except for
         | the video toaster, i guess, which seemed to be the niche they
         | ultimately filled- other than overpriced home computers with
         | limited software options)

           | The Amiga 500 was reasonably priced, at least in most of
           | Europe. It was a very popular gaming computer for a few
           | years.
