I think marketing had something to do with it. Before i got the A1200, i had only heard of Amiga's. And that was the A500. I had not seen any tv adds, non in brochers or anytype of ad... That is i think i big no no. Commador didnt milk their own products enough. They lacked the forsight to see what they really had and they didnt do their marketing well enough.
I remember when we got our A1200, when it first came out, it had know harddrive... we updated to a harddrive, 16M of RAM and got an 030 CPU card... Besides being freakingly expensive, Commador should still be around if they had just made a few more smart decisions...
Talking about dumb stuff... What was that A600 all about? I used to think it was an A1200 with a smaller keyboard... Later someone told me it was an A500+ with smaller keyboard or something.... Why, why did they do that? stupid!!
