@colon_three @tinybarks@meows.life anyway this whole thread started from another conversation entirely about someone having a wrong opinion that poor people aren't allowed to have MacBooks and still be poor, it did not start about amigas, and i don't want to add to this anymore
@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three my a600 that cost that much came with a completely knackered motherboard from an electrolytic leak and needed microscopic precision soldering to reattach the keyboard lines and still doesn't work 100%
@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three I'm not in the us _or_ Europe or the rest of North America
@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three you can get the cf and adapter even cheaper from AliExpress but for example i paid R$400 for an Amiga 600 while a dual core ThinkPad tablet for drawing was R$180
amigas are not cheap
@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three still, finding a fully working system plus necessary accessories to bring it up to speed (at least a cf-ide adaptor for example to put software in it for example) is not cheaper than a modern workstation
@lizardsquid yeah it was directed at someone else not me
still angers me though
@colon_three yeah!
@colon_three how about you eat shit?
@a_breakin_glass in this case in particular people were trying to push Linux onto someone for real time audio applications, something Linux cannot do
@colon_three getting a decent working Amiga system these data is even more expensive with all things considered than a modern workstation so no
