But the real point to all of this isn't that the PC eventually overtook the Amiga as the platform of choice for all this - it's that the Amiga was where this stuff first became *accessible* to someone who hadn't already decided they wanted to pursue this stuff and bought equipment specifically for the purpose. The Amiga allowed us to dip a toe in the water, and discover computer-related creative fields in a way that we wouldn't have been able to on a PC of the same vintage.
