Watching these things always makes me a little sad to know that I'll never get the opportunity of working anywhere that interesting or exciting.

I believe this is the one where he shows the AAA Amiga Prototype at the end.  If only C= had clung on a few more months that thing might have made a difference.


I doubt it.  C= was way passed the point of no return.

During the AAA development, it was pretty clear AAA would be nothing special if it ever did ship, at least not in raw specs. In 1988, a 64-bit chipset that could do 1280x1024@60Hz, with 11 bits/pixel, would have been something. In 1994, the earliest ship date had C= not failed, it would have been an expensive also-ran (four chips for a 32-bit system, six for a 64-bit system, and you needed VRAM for performance).
