Stop whining, in 1985 I paid $400 for 256 kilobyte RAM for my Amiga 1000, AND I WAS HAPPY!
You kids nowadays are spoiled, with 100,000 times more RAM if you have an average build with 16 GB RAM and 8 GB VRAM.
But the Amiga was still more fun than modern computers.

Is it me? Or is it the kids that are wrong?
Hmmm... 🤔 ...
It must be the kids. 😋

Apollo A6000 review: the ultimate 68K Amiga, rebuilt for the modern age

The Apollo A6000 ships with 2 GB of Fast RAM

It succeeds where emulation cannot, delivering the tactile, hardware‑level experience of owning a new Amiga‑class machine in 2025/2026.

I was getting excited... until I read the price :/

$1200 USD.

Well, very on brand for Amiga to be $$$.

I think I'll wait for the TheA1200 or failing that, buy an old clunker and stick a PiStorm into it.
