Indeed. The only negativity is thrown towards Commodore's idiot management, and they deserve it.

A 6502 appeared in a Sega console?  The Genesis used a 68000 and a Z80 (the CD attachment added another 68000,) and I am sure the Master System used a Z80.  :-?

Sadly, there was a lot of negative stuff in the past and sadly, there is in the present.

It is a testament to Jay Minor that so many continue to follow the technology. No other Vintage platform has as many well managed web sites dedicated toit.

Why is it that the Amiga is so forgotten?  Nobody cared it was 10 years ahead of it's time.  The masses were idiots, had no idea what was good or bad.
