If C= had produced an Amiga incompatible wonder computer would you have bought it?

My software investment was too large to simply dump, plus I would have struggled to afford anything more than £300 when I was 13...

I would have to have sold my Amiga to help fund the purchase of the new machine. Don't forget I was 13 in '93!

I am also trying to put my mind into te frameset that I ha back then... I think I would have struggled to justify jumping to a new platform with all my games and applications, plus most evenings I spent writing little programs... I was too invested in the Amiga platform to jump... I didn't jump until 2000!!!

You were 13.  Man, I am feeling old........
I though you might be older.
Your avatar picture reminds me of what some of the British New Wave Rock Stars from back in the early 80's dressed like.

Yeah, we were part of a new "new wave" it didn't take

Actually the Acorn Archimedies is basically the best Commodore could have done at the time and we can see how well it worked out for Acorn...

Once a computer hits mass market, software support is vital... The Amiga, Mac and IBM-PC were all trading on software by the mid 90's .)

Amiga is a religion, it has all the features of one:
1. Belief that Amiga supporters are superior to others.
2. Belief that, despite evidence the the contrary, Amiga's are superior to other systems.
3. Arcane symbols and rituals.
4. Various worshiped "prophets".
5. Calm moderate supporters & insane fundamentalist loonies.
6. Rival sects, with slightly differing interpretations of the central ideas.
7. Powerful and corrupt leaders.
8. A firm belief in a Second Coming or a better time just around the corner.

I could go on...
