Amen to that brother!
I`m not one to advocate upgrading for upgrading`s sake....but to those people
complaining about the price of PPC and gfx cards now...you should`ve bought `em
ages ago anyway ;-)
Actually..they were much more cost competetive originally..since the
price/performance ratio was better in1997 (PPC) and(1994/5 (when I got my first
gfx card).....
I still advocate that if you want a better/faster/more fun Amiga experience that
*you should stil upgrade* .... prices may seem `high` but remember in real terms
they`re cheap due to slow recovery of development costs in such a small market.
