30 years ago a special computer was shown to the world at CES for the very first time, people who saw it where amazed, awestruck and worried, it would take another year for it to be launched. But that machine was the Amiga.

Fortunately for IBM, C= was able to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.  I bet IBM was nervous at the time, thinking how on earth could they could possibly catch up with this machine in the next year.

And now, thirty years later, Commodore no longer exists and IBM no longer sells personal computers.
And EVERYTHING looks like an Amiga.

Fortunately, everything looks BETTER than an Amiga...

Yet sadly lacking any of the grace and elegance. :/
