"Adam Chowaniec talks about..."

"...His task was to build the successor to the C64, then the most popular machine on the market with more than 20 million units sold."

All truth about the C-64 (+DTV64) numbers, but I question this claim of an Amiga "task".

"Chowaniec, as vice president of technology at Commodore, was responsible for creating the Amiga PC."

I'd like to remain professional here, but balance it with being the first one to call "TOTAL {bleep}" on his claim!
As-if HE was responsible!!!
  Please correct me if I'm wrong because experts I know dont agree at all (I was never employed at CBM). Prove me wrong AdamC and I will respect you like I do the actual folks responsible for Amigas success once bought by Commodore: The CBM+Amiga gurus*.
Every time I am wrong and my memory is corrected I grow smarter - _relish_ it!
