   Falling asleep to an Amiga 2000 infomercial boasting about how the A2000 model can support multiple programs using its unique multi processing capabilities with up to 8mb of MEMORY.

     @nova this is such a cool find, I'm watching a Capcom promo video on the work they did for the year of 1991 it seems. This is such a fun piece of history. The narrator seems to be having fun talking about it too!

     @nova your AMIGA post reminded me of my first computer, about 1987 or 1988. My folks went to Sears, I think?

     It was a VENDEX 888-XT with a whopping 512k of RAM, 2 5.25" floppy drives, NO hard drive, and it ran exclusively on the proprietary VENDEX operating system, which required the switching out of two floppies to fully load.

     @nova 8MB was lavish on an Amiga. My first multitasked like a dream in 512KB. Best machine ever, certainly the most underrated.

     @nova Wow, Amiga, that was a throwback. I worked in an Amiga store in the 90s.
