Found this interesting site which presents a "different" view of Amiga history.  LOL

That's the way I remember it!
No seriously folks....
Really, too damn funny. I'm gonna bookmark and follow links,,,,

"Of course all good driving games come on two or more floppies, and this can cause dangerous situations as drivers are forced to Insert Disk 3 while in mid lane-change on the freeway."

Yea, I hate that 3rd disk change.....
Oh well, some things never change.

Someone took alot of time to humorously hit the nail on the head, while severly liquored up!

Wow! They sure got that part about Commodore marketing correct.

I think that they were a bit off the mark on some of the dates mentioned. I'm sure that the Amiga existed prior to the 16th century. Recently I saw a documentary about some farmer who in 1898  found one buried in a field in Minnesota. It was later dated back to the 14th century and is believed to have been left there by Vikings!

I'm also fairly sure that the Mayan calendar was created using CAL Calendar Maker by Gramma Software.

Ohh laugh so hard. And I nearly bought one of those Holden Commodore Omegas too.
I would have put an SD Floppy emulator in in though. Old floppies are not too reliable...

I was going to get me a Commodore Omega too, but at the time , they were out of Start Disks.  An error on their part for not just using an ignition key.

3 years ago it was found, but buried.  I had not seen it before so thank you for bringing it out again
