Commodore's factory in Scotland closed down in 1994. More snippets can be found HERE.

Commodore had a factory in Eaglescliffe, Teeside, England turning out 4 million calculators a year in 1974 (New Scientist Feb. 1974). Don't think any Amigas were made there, but it's not far from Scotland.

It's interesting what pops up when you're researching stuff.
This came out when I Googled on the Commodore/Corby connection. Guess who was instrumental in writing Commodore's Basic OS way back then? Go, on guess!


The COMMODORE BASIC Operating System was written by Bill Gates and Paul Allen from their fledgling Micro-Soft Corporation (later renamed to Microsoft Corporation).  Commodore Basic was the only software license ever granted by Microsoft to any company for all products regardless of the number of copies used.  Commodore went on to produce literally millions of machines with various forms of Commodore Basic and did not pay Microsoft a single cent after the initial licence purchase in 1976/7.

I like it, I like it!
