Flexinoodl I salute you!
I've just read some of the most negative tripe on this thread...
First point would be that yes, the Amiga didn't do as well in the United States as it did in Europe. Europe has this culture of parties, art and varying musical styles whereas I perceive the US to be starched IBM business men tapping away at a Lotus spreadsheet with an iPod playing soft rock or country music. Anyone worth their salt in the computing industry knows about the Amiga. It was used by Nasa, moviemakers, TV broadcasters, 6 million gamers/creators and featured on Rolf's Cartoon Club (the pinnacle of it's career).
There's too many geeks now that grew up on a diet of Visual Basic, Windows and too much hardware resources. They became blinkered, arrogant and lacking in essential survival skills... a bit like US troops in Iraq.
The Amiga brand still holds a whopping big clout - you just have to look on the TV text services/newspapers in the UK to see "Commodore is resurrected" as having some sort of editorial grandeur.
I vote Sir Alan Sugar as the saviour... he's got a billion dollars behind him and Amstrad (his Amiga-competing company) is now on the up...
