I like big boxed ones... easier to have on a desk, seperate keyboard, more expandable...
I could not live with an amiga that has no rtg!

The wedge, it's aerodynamic and cute and it's a challenge to make stuff fit in it. Ask Zetro.....

Surely wedge Amigas are faster than square ones, what with the lower drag coefficient and desk hugging stance and all that.

It's a bit like how black PC's are faster than beige ones or how a flat screen monitor instantly makes your computer faster than it was with a CRT.

Exactly, just like adding stripes to your car / bike / pram etc. makes it 10mph faster. I reckon the wedge has a "ground effect" thing going on that the tower just can't match.

/me goes off to look at "plant rack" rear spoilers on Fleabay and takes the rubber feet of his Miggies to lower them for better handling...

Can't beat a good wedge - I love something small and cute (which, er, is another story altogether).

recent studies indicate that if anyone voted for wedge, there is a very high chance he is not satisfied with his gizmo size.

Wedges because they're easy to transport, boxes because they're easily expandable. So I'm kinda divided.
