I had to laugh, Pan-Am! I have 70's sci-fi art with Pan-Am shuttles and space stations on it. I remember, as a kid it was often considered that Pan-Am would be the company to make private commercial space tourism happen. Instead we have Virgin Galactic.

As for Amiga... ..it should have dominated the industry.

I feel sad now so I'm going to eat my lunch on a park bench with a spoon that doesn't exist.

"Other computer makers have come and gone, but the  Commodore Amiga still commands a place of reverence among tech  aficionados. As The New York Times once put it, "Amiga loyalists (are a)  fanatical bunch who make Apple (AAPL (http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/stock-price?Symbol=aapl)) partisans look apathetic."

Understatement:afro:

I hate websites that expect me to click through 12 pages with 1 paragraph on each page.
