Was Commodore forced into bankruptcy by the banks?

What country was this in? In 1994 after Commodore went out of business the Amiga shops around central FL dried up faster than spit on a sidewalk in summer and not a single one of them ever carried a CD32 or an A1200 that I saw.

Remember the one down on 436 & E. Colonial that later moved up in to Casselberry?

I seem to recall Commodore were selling 5000 A1200 a week in the UK and hopeful of selling double that in the run up to Christmas.

The Amiga really was a non-story in the US. Except perhaps big box Amigas, which actually had a few niche uses that some North American businesses found useful.

Yeah; wedge Amigas (despite those being all I and my friends owned, except for a couple of guys we knew who had an A2000 and A3000 respectively) really didn't go anywhere here.  The few folks I knew who had them, I'd talk to 'em about upgrades and so forth and get MEGO, followed by "Heh, all I know is I put the Lemmings disk in and it goes."

One guy I knew had an A500 with 2mb RAM, but he basically used it and AMAX-II so it was effectively a cheap mac clone for him.  He never even saw the Amiga side except during boot-up.

****, if I'd have had a big box Amiga I'd have at least kept it until '96 or '97, possibly longer, if for no other reason than a Bridgeboard or single-board PC would've matched what I owned until then.
