An Amy1200 was my first. AWESOME for it’s day. PC and Mac STILL haven’t caught up in some ways. Workbench was a joy of an OS to use.

The secret to Commodore was different chips to do each job in the computer, which allowed for much more innovation. IBM heralded the one chip solution, they won the battle, Commodore disappeared from America, then IBM changed to the multi chip framework for graphics, sound, etc.

But Amiga still is used in Europe.
