>Amiga blew the doors off of everything that was out there and could have easily sidelined Apple - if Steve Jobs had been running Commodore. I was part of a flagship Amiga users group in 87 when the 500 cam out and we couldn't get anyone from Commodore - which was located about 3 miles from where we met - to send anyone over to talk to us. Software developers were pretty much on their own. Europe loved it, but the American marketing and community support was amazingly bad.

I loved the Amiga (had both a 500 and a 3000). When I saw the preemptive multitasking on it I was sold. Combined with the graphics it made the PC look rediculuously crappy.
