Yes, I've seen that site and I've checked out all 15-16 (or so) Commodore related episodes of the Computer Chronicles.

Though I did find the episodes intriguing, I really hate the fact that the Commodore related products (such as the VideoToaster, for example) always gets questioned if it can be used professionally. Even when NewTek demonstrated the immense power of their hardware they got the question whether or not it could be used professionally (what the f***?).

It somehow seemed like, no matter what hardware was released and no matter how cheap it was in comparation with other 'professional' hardware related to the PC-clones or the Mac-clones, it always was looked upon with sceptical eyes. In some cases it seemed that just because the price tag was so low, people thought that it just had to be 'the worse' alternative. Ridicilous. With such an attitude it doesn't seem that hard to understand that Commodore never really managed to come through in the US (no matter if there were bad at PR or not). But, then again, I might have gotten it all wrong...
Amiga 1200, Mirage Tower, PC-Key 1200, Blizzard 1260/50, SCSI Kit, 256MB RAM, 40GB HD, Mediator SX, Soundblaster 128, Voodoo 3 and Realtek 8139.
