But also in the UK they had Acorn, Sinclair and Amstrad. (did I miss anyone here), which really didn't fair as well in the rest of the world as C-64 did, I reckon.
Something that hit me when the PS3/X360 came out was that these were, or are the new Amigas, in a way. They have PPC, similar concept, but 20 years newer. Would have been nice to mod a X360 to run OS 4.x on. :lol:
All you can do now is linux, and that can be run on anything plus your grandmother's cell.
