I've looked at all the potential moves Commodore might have made, there were no moves that would have keep the company solvent until the turn of the century, let alone beyond.  They all died, Atari, Sinclair, Coleco, Acorn, et al.   The PC was establishing a dominance that would last 2 decades.

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

In 1985 Amiga had the potential to become a niche video/sound machine, unfortunately they were way too far ahead of the curve.  No youtube, no www, no cheap digital cameras.  The niche wasn't developed yet.  On top of that hardware and operating system updates were late or bungled.
