I'm sitting a few feet away from an Amiga 1200, sold for approximately 

advertised as providing "2048 K of RAM". Which, considering the 
Commodore 64 we bought it to replace, seemed like one hell of a step up! o_O

(On the other hand, *my* A1200 has been upgraded to 34 MB RAM. At 
considerable cost, I might add. I also installed a 850MB HD, which 

probability similarly expensive. I still rememer the awe when I realised 
that with 34 MB of RAM, I could actually edit an entire 2-minute CD 
track *in RAM*!)
