Huh, Amiga already got built in graphic card, the AGA chipset was the best at its time.

You sure you not confused Amiga with PC? Amiga has always been coloured

That's not an Amiga, that is just commodore pc clone 😁

Yes, they also made IBM pc clone, the Amiga uses motorola 68000 processor, not Intel cpu

Don't make me laugh. I was light years ahead of crummy Apple back in 1985. Or anything else for that matter.

What? I thought Macintosh was released that year or around then. Macintosh was light years ahead of anything according to the literature.

You are too young to know the true history of computing I guess.

The AmigaOS was probably the first true multitasking OS for consumers.

Mac? They just stole Xerox UI and made it famous...like Apple does now...always stealing other people's tech. Even their screen unlock was stolen from Nokia

And in terms of Graphics and sound, nothing can come close to the Amiga then. The Mac was a joke by comparison.

You call it steal, Jobs calls it standing on the shoulder of giants biggrin.gif

If Amiga so superior, why did it disappear into history but mac and PC still around?

You can read history lor if interested, not gonna tell you 20 years of history in a post.

Those days, computing were so exciting. Everything is fresh, new , unique and breath taking. Now, everyone is just a metoo.

Being best seller doesn't always means you are the best. It's very shallow to perceive things by mere revenue figures.

Your own signature emphasizes that the c64 was the best selling computer of its time, so ironic that you say that.

If talking in revenue, Mac was almost much more expensive and sold fewer units than c64 or PC.

Superior doesn't mean can win, betamax was far superior in technological term, in the end VHS still win.

Macintosh was far superior, but in the end Dos still win

Anyway, Amiga died due commodore mismanagement, when they were making bucket loads of money on Amiga, instead of investing in Amiga, they decided to invest in their PC business, in the end making a wrong decision can kill their cash cow business.

Whilst PC at the time still Dos, soundblaster is non exist ant, CGA 4 colour was the highest end spec, Amiga already doing multitasking as easy as pie
