QUOTE(Cincai lar @ Jul 24 2022, 01:22 PM) confirm it's a commodore,.... no hardisk,.. OS is BASIC,.. 5 1/4 floppy disk,... i remember that era,.. PC just having 286 as flagship chips,.. common one using 8088,.. 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 |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Jul 24 2022, 04:31 PM) What? I thought Macintosh was released that year or around then. Macintosh was light years ahead of anything according to the literature. Amiga workbench was way better then macos at the time. The multitasking capabilities which was way ahead at the time, compared to macos or microsoft single tasking os |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Jul 24 2022, 04:36 PM) 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. |

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. |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Jul 24 2022, 04:52 PM) Your own signature emphasizes that the c64 was the best selling computer of its time, so ironic that you say that. Dude. You weren't there wnen it happens. If you did, you will understand. And you have no idea what the Amiga was capable of.If talking in revenue, Mac was almost much more expensive and sold fewer units than c64 or PC. |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Jul 24 2022, 04:43 PM) You call it steal, Jobs calls it standing on the shoulder of giants Superior doesn't mean can win, betamax was far superior in technological term, in the end VHS still win.If Amiga so superior, why did it disappear into history but mac and PC still around? 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.
