Yup, why I mentioned it. I first saw a mouse on an ST, triggering much desire compared to my Amstrad CPC-464. The Amiga arrived and that was gorgeous. I would try draw the Porsche pic pixel by pixel (https://imgur.com/gallery/jim-sachs-porsche-on-amiga-OMc99EB) on my own hand-crafted drawing program but the Amstrad has a tough time of it. Finally later got an Amiga 500. Never saw an Archimedes outside of magazines but the talk of RISC was intriguing.

> Amstrad CPC-464.

This is another jewel few people in the Americas have experienced.

Called Schneider in Germany. I never could afford the disk drive unfortunately. That used 3" CF2 disks a format that nobody knows about any longer (arguably superior to the 5 1/4 disks used by the C64 which was the main competitor).
