Close, but no cigar.....

C= died because they tried to run their x86 leg the same way as Amiga.

No support, shaddy quality, medicore peformance and the same HW for years (a slighter case of the same mistake was also what killed Escom). If C= had played their (x86)cards well they could have been on par with HP,Dell and others.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
