Mine died (for the second time) since Xmas 1985.  Has been gutted and is being preped for an overhaul.  AmigaOne mini ITX should fit quite nicely if they ever show up.

The nicest slim line design ever. IMO   :-D

.  Intel chose to ignore the new Amiga, thinking that their own IBM PCs were more professional.


The North American Sales Rep for IBM stated in an interview given to a Canadian Amiga Mag that "The Amiga was born a blessed child, and in the future would be a force to be reckoned with!"   They were very nervous about the competition the Amiga could pose.    Thus the race for graphics charged forward.  The Amiga invigorated IBM and Apple with new concept ideas.

But, even they didn't realize that C= didn't know what they had or how to deploy it.  The rest is history.   :cry:
