I noticed right away that Tom Rattigan is missing.  He was the CEO of Pepsi before moving on to Commodore, and brought it from the brink of bankruptcy and made the Amiga as popular as it was, with the A500/A2000 duo coming out under his rule.  He really made a huge difference; without him, Amiga and Commodore would have died with only the Amiga 1000.  Had Commodore kept him on board, I would bet that Commodore would not have gone bankrupt and would still be around today to pester Apple and the PC industry.  

Commodore died shortly after he was turfed.

One the most infamous has to be Jovial Jops, one of the guys behind the sensible software team creating the likes of sensible soccer, cannon fodder and the other joys.

Top guy!

Dick Van Dyke? Matt Groening? They are big names considering i've never heard of any of them guys on that list.

Yeah, but wasn't Tom Rattigan just a marketing/managing expert who knew little to nothing about computers before coming to Commodore?  Commodore could have been selling socks for all he cared, and he would have done his best to make them the best sock company in the world.  So is this list about ANYONE famous associated with Amigas, or famous people who actually USE Amigas?
