   Referring to himself as an Apple II user doesn't seem inconsistent, as   
   many people had many computers at the same time back then (I know I   
   did).   
      
   But you are correct about the Amiga's colors.  The 24-bit color   
   pallette (16.8 million colors) didn't arrive on the Amiga until (I   
   think) the Amiga 3000, which was much after 1985.   
      
   Nope, the Amiga 3000 was ECS like the later A2000's and A500's (early of   
   each model were OCS). Only the A1200 and A4000 Amiga computers had AGA and   
   both of those were released in the 90's.
