Would have been the end of the Amiga

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

Amiga never had a chance, they started out pushing the state of the art and then just sat there waiting for the others to catch up.  It makes no sense.  They had such a long lead, Macs didn't pass them until OS X.  Windows really didn't until Windows 2000.  They had a decade lead and didn't go anywhere.

@amigakidd
The reason your local computer doesn't support alternative OSs is because there is no money in them.  They have a few 10's of users, what's the point in spending time and money to support them?  Computer stores are really apolitical they simply support what their customers want.
