Sacking of Los Gatos engineers point of no return?

[actung_bab]

Commodore UK had more marketing sense than CBM, which isn't hard. They also had stacks of money from selling A500's by the truckload, to people who mostly used them for playing pirate games.
 
If Commodore UK had continued the way they were going then it would only have been a temporary stay of execution. As Commodore collapsed the games developers were already leaving for the new CD consoles (hoping for less piracy).
 
There wasn't much room for serious software either, there were a few niche markets that did ok for a while but you have to be pretty serious to drop a couple of grand for a Toaster/TBC/etc.

true dude what comes down to is ibm compatible pcs have got the market for the biz use
in general to kkep compitblity with word ext got the games marekt well trully covered

Whats that leave consoles apprently sony wasint even going have console of there own
They made it for another company imagine commodore brought it

Mr haynie is cool i do wonder what happned to orginal people delvolped amiga
and whay the left the company oh yeah commodre brought the amiga but yuo thought
they wanted to be involved with here baby
seems to me you need leader to bring marketing and admin and engineers get there opio0ions and then make a descesion bit unfair calling anyone clueless negitve
sure they did there best should been guy top making right choices, but then maybe need some new guys in design to just have fresh ideas who knows bit late know hindight all can be
experst l whou7ld not be any good running amiga hehe , you have to be cold and clear thinking not get wraped up in emotion of the amiga to sometimes if get somone completly out the loop they going try ideas that might seem not amiga like but might worked for future
look phaze 5 did same goes for sam
steve jobs didnt just go no that anent mac way and hese moved it from being pc maker to
gaget maker too ipod ipad dude is good ideas guy for sure hope gets better too

seems i know hark on about this but you need a leader not a corpration
to bring about leading edge designs or just inique ideas

Mr honda was that in motorcycle world steve jobs bill gates etc

I  think maybe sadley no matter what happned amiga was going go broke anyhow
Just its day was done everthing has a life to it even people

just enjoy what time it did have to shine and boy did it shine get on be postive

We can't do both??  

I see this as the same type of interest in reading "alternate history" type books.  What ifs...
It is fun to read a book that imagines that Babbages Difference Engine WAS built and used and there's a whole culture around it..
Doesn't mean I can't also SLAM Ada Lovelace as a really weak programmer..

er..  :confused:

That analogy didn't actually work very well..  But you get the point..  :roflmao:

desiv

yes u can if you want its free world apprently hehe
agree with franko thought too
yes talk about the past but not to point upsetting very people that put in blood sweet tears to make the hardware because if feel and am unamimous on this
To have opion is fine but unless u have abilty to do better better to close mouth
before talkie either that or buy something u think u like btter
