Recalling the rise of 16bit era, an era that in my memories was defined mainly by Motorola 68k cpu computers: The Mac, brought the GUI interface. The A bomb, the Amiga, with its custom chips-coprocessors, colourful graphics, stereo sound, pre-emptive multitasking OS and probably other stuff which I forget. And also Atari ST. Well, it had midi ports embedded, making it successful among musicians. I also remember its crisp 70Hz 640x400 monochrome monitor, very easy on the eyes, paired with a nice, legible 8x16 font. But did it bring any novelty, like the aforementioned two (Amiga, Mac)?

PS: I also remember IBM PC with its 8/16bit 8088 cpu as a lousy machine with only one nice feature: Its expansion slots!
