Amiga got gui at that time?

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.

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.

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

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

Yep, there is no such thing as a monochrome Amiga. What Cincai saw was a PC clone by Commodore, or possibly an ancient Commodore PET which is even older than me (aka c64).

There is no such thing as adding graphic card to an Amiga. It all use in house customised chip by the designer (Rest his soul - Jay Glenn Miner) and his team. Else how to achieve all those technological feat.
