But they would have had to charge more for their products and Institute an "Commodore Tax" to survive! They needed more R&D apend and marketing like Apple. They also needed to keep their vertical integration by updating CSG/MOS rather than running it into the ground! Not possible in this timeline!

True. But in this day and age it’s all different. You have those who are mustering their own 3rd party cards for commodore machines.

Please include swiss keymaps (both ch-de and ch-fr, if possible), pretty pleeease?
Or can I just copy them over from some AmigaOS installation? Are they compatible?

(just as a sidenote: just checked "Storage" to see if they're there... hmm... seems a bit of mess in there, don't you think?: a few datatypes directly in there, 2 icons dirs... why not stick to the dir structure as in DEVS?)

With "external audio out" I meant the rear audio socket. HDMI doesn't work for me with any of my monitors or TV.

Happy 4th of July, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, July 12, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

  Panera Bread Restaurant
  19662 Nordhoff Street
  Northridge, California
  (818) 407-9400

     For discussion we'll talk about the Pacific Commodore Expo NW which just happened in Seattle and the upcoming Amiga 40th which is happening on August 1 and 2 at the Vintage Computer Festival West in Mountain View, California.
     In hardware, we'll look at Tom M.'s Amiga 3000 which was very dead but has been brought back to life, thanks to the efforts of Duncan MacDougall of RELICS (Retro Equipment Lovers International Society) in San Jose, CA.  The Ultimate 64 reappears with the latest C64 software from Itch.io and the updated TeensyROM C64/128 cartridge.  And if I have the energy for it, the Miracle Piano Teaching System will reappear, too. 
     If you have any software and/or hardware that you'd like us to see, bring it along!

          Truly,

P.S. Our September meeting is planned for the 20th, the weekend before the Bay Area Maker Faire!

Commodore could have been like Apple is today.

Oh my goodness, please no. That would have been utterly horrendous to have two companies making products with planned obsolescence of less than one year.
