Come on guys, admit it, most of you were just playing games.
My main use was as a word processor (still a large part of my use). But I was also building point of sales systems. Building, selling, and supporting computers for business and process control use. Real practical economically valid use for computers.
Maybe one of the reasons the Amiga failed is that many of the users had no real productive uses for their expensive hardware. So when someone in business had to justify their expendatures with valid rational reasoning, you guys and your focus on games and demos put them off, rather than selling them on the Amiga.
Its a shame that the Amiga never got the respect for its status as a real computer that it truly deserved. It was easily as (or more) apable as other 'serious' computers, but with Commodore advertising it primarily to kids, no one took it seriously enough.
