Was I dissapointed in the A1200 when it was released? No. A friends older brother bought one and I would have liked to own one too. I bought his old A500+A590 setup instead.

Am I currently disappointed with the A1200? Yes. In retrospect Commodore could have probably released a far better machine in a similar time-frame for not that much higher price point but chose not too.

But as much as I am disappointed with the A1200 I am more unimpressed by the A4000, honestly I think I may prefer an A2000 to the A4000. Where I would definitely favour an A1200 over the A500.

Now this brings us to the A600. I was quite dissapointed with the A600 when it was current, but in retrospect there is a lot to like about this compact ECS machine.
