Does anyone actually ever stand up for Commodore?
I think they were a fantastic company, they diversified and made some
fantastic business machines, multimedia computers and games consoles.
As for AGA, we're talking not just about the graphics here but the
sound and the drive controllers.
To me AGA has not been beaten to this day as the finest chipset ever

Yeah, yeah bring on the ATi Radeon X800 jokes etc. etc. but back in
1992 when the Amiga 1200 came out - AGA blew even the NeoGeo out of
the water and what games console even today can you print from,
program etc.
The world desperately needs a Peoples Computer to be sold in a little
colourful box like the Deluxe Paint, Oscar, Wordworth style combos of
the early 90's.
So what if Mehdi Ali made some mistakes, every one of those people is
responsible for what we have today and I'm indebited to them. The best

Particularly if you wonder if Microsoft has been getting governmment

What Amiga Inc. need to do now is take a PowerPoint(Scala/Holywood)
presentation to Samsung and get a multi-million commision to build
Samsung AmigaOne.
