good:
producing amigas that were compatable with different models of amiga(unlike binaries for the c= 8bit machines)
producing expandable amigas(zorro II/III)
and producing faster amigas(ie not always using the 68000) as in the A3000(probably the best amiga)

bad:
no advertising anywhere but in existing amiga magazines

the whole marketing department should of been fired and a new marketing department hired

the advertisments were useless!

@WarPiper

yep that was another problem

people would look at the amiga and think 'commodore 64'

or it was just a games machine

if i were in charge of commodore during those days - we would all be using amigas now not 'ibm-pc's or macs
90% of the world would be amiga  ;-)  hahahahh

actually i want to change my choices if i may:

best:
the PET!!! that is really what started it all!(i dont care too much for typewriters and electric calculators)

worst:
couldnt handle their finances and died :-( that was sad because one of their favorite machines(the Amiga) didnt do to well after that and wasnt developed(we are still wating), and lots of good software developers left that particular platform(even though there were plenty of users still) it all went down hill from when commodore died :-(
