Who the hell would actually buy a DVD about the death of Commodore? It reminds me of that stupid guru meditation (http://www.errorwear.com/huge-amiga.html) t-shirt idea.

Because it is one of the most interesting pieces about the Amiga ever made and probably ever will.

I'm not the worlds biggest Amiga freak, I'm just a regular user, but I watched it on the Amiga forever CD and it blew me away.  It's not about the company it's about the people who put up with so much #### because they believed in an idea.

Who wouldn't buy it. There are some seriously funny moments and stories on that video. The speed hump story was one of my favourites (amongst others).

I just ordered mine :) I just figure its one of those fun things to have. Its a bit of our history.

BTW: I've got one of those T-shirts too- the reason? It doesn't look half bad under a jacket and most people don't know what it means either, those who do sometimes give me a smile or some kind of a "right-on!" gesture.
