"It was also technologically superior to most if not all of its peers"

Maybe for a year or two. Commodore was unbelievably short-sighted and reacted way too slowly to the rest of the world, and stretched out the Amiga chips for WAY too long. I mean seriously, 8 bit audio even on the 4000? Low density floppy controller hacked to "work" as a HD controller by the amazing solution of spinning the disk at half the speed? Wow.

Cheap, cheap, cheap. And when they did finally attempt something. it was the usual clusterfuck. AGA, no Hombre, no the A600, no let's make the Plus4, no let's make the C65, no! etc etc etc

I was also an Amiga fan, had a 3000 with BridgeBoard, the works. But I kind of lost interest decades ago and no longer find it all that interesting. Probably because my limited space is used up with C= 8 bit stuff like a Plus/4 and a 128D.

I wonder where this thing is these days
