Here (go to around 3:20), George Morrow predicts that both the Amiga and the Atari ST will never really get off the ground.  The guy is not exactly a prophet!  LOL.

He predicted that Windows and MacOS would remain the two dominant OS's and software companies would not support either AmigaOS or TOS and he was 100% right.


No, watch again.  He predicted that Amiga would never get off the ground.  Turns out that Amiga did very well -- and for some very serious non-gamer stuff (e.g. video).  He was 100% wrong about the Amiga.
