Back in 1983, 25 years ago, the world was quite different. The market for the home computer - still a fairly new market - was wide open, but Apple was about to make a major splash with its Macintosh. It was also the year in which a company from Redmond first introduced its "Windows" operating system. What is this Windows you speak of?

Same as the first poster. I had a lowly A500 (later 600) and couldn't help laughing when i first saw Windows 3.x.
Games were better, graphics and sound were better, everything was better on the Amiga.
My mate had the A1200 with a build in hard drive (ooohhh!!) and it rocked. And we had some great link up games over serial cable.... man those were the days.
Shame a great piece of tech went under. Windows didnt catch up until Win95 and even then it wasnt any better.
