I may have bought a Commodore computer better than the Amiga but I would've wanted to know why drop the Amiga brand?
I loved my C64 and the jump to the Amiga 500 wasn't scary. My friends had them and it was a 'Commodore' Amiga 500! While the Amiga brand was running did we see any other Commodore computers? Nothing worth noticing, it was if when C bought Amiga the branding changed - Left Hand, Right Hand, Commodore Amiga.
I didn't own an Amiga 500, I owned a Commodore Amiga 500, in the same way I own a Commodore Amiga 4000, a Commodore Amiga 1200!
The original Amiga team we all know are legends! And it could have been an Atari Amiga, but I wonder how much trust we would have had in Amiga if it wasn't for Commodore buying it? Commodore were the best! You had a speccy but your mate had a C64! You know which one you wanted!
Now Commodore is long gone we crave the Amiga, with or without Commodore (without if Commodore - USA is anything to go by!).
Sad thing is guys, Jay is gone, Hi-Torro is too, Commodore-USA is another PC-clone shop, and Amiga? Amiga is a former shadow of what should have been great.
I make it sound like I think Commodore was great, but I'm kinda taking the Smeg here. We bought into the trust of the Commodore brand when Amiga was introduced, and once we were hooked you release that it was Commodore that was the poison.
