Once again, the way-ahead-of-its-time Commodore Amiga machines are left out of a "history of the personal computer" bit.

Not left out, just too new. . .

The Amiga's development timeline fits right in with the PC and the Mac.

It had multi-channel sound first, graphics acceleration first, high-color displays first and a true, preemptive multi-tasking GUI in 1985.

I'd say it's worth mentioning. :-)
