Commodore had money troubles

And management caused the money problems by burning millions on their failed PC clone projects while they left Amiga development to starve. I've pondered how might it have all worked out differently if only....

I had to support their Colts for a couple of years. Poor DOS compatibility killed them, and their price didn't make them too attractive to start with. I had a couple of customers that were convinced their machines had been virus infected. Nope. And I spent most of a day proving to them DOS version compatibility issues. It's not hard to figure out what eventually happened to their Colt sales. And not to just pick on Commodore, AT&T clones suffered the same type problems and eventual fate.
