Commodore made the most perfect machine ever,
and so.. they could not make anything better.



Commodore made nothing apart from mistakes, the original A1000 concept was made around 1981 (same year i was born incidently :)  by a handful of people who had no affiliations with any company (apart from one of the blokes used to work at Atari i think). All they needed was funding, and as far as i remember no-one else was interested apart from Commodore, all they did was to invest and promote the Amiga, and of course reap the rewards then f*ck it up. Spose it was better than making calculators (from CBM's point of view).

Sometimes I wonder what wouldve happened if Commodore UK bought Commodore instead of Gateway, i always thought David Pleasence had the right idea.  Or if IBM hadnt said no all those years ago, imagine that, the "IBM Amiga"

eek
