That’s what I was not grasping. We were too poor to have a computer until I was 16 (in the 90s) so I missed that era. Thank you!

You're welcome! One of the appeals of Amiga was that it offered all this at a very competitive price (when compared to IBM compatible PCs). Still, I recall a Commodore 64 costing my parents about 4 months of salary, and that was without even a tape drive. This was Eastern Europe, so perhaps we were poorer than most on HN. Commodores, Ataris and other alt machines were pretty popular around those parts, due to their price point.
