Last Day of a Commodore Amiga Factory
« on: October 12, 2008, 09:36 AM »
Here's a video I hadn't seen before, so I thought I'd post it in case you haven't, too.  :)

The Commodore Plant in West Chester, PA
The last day of this Amiga Factory. April 27, 1994. Dave Haynie shows you around of what once was...

Dave is still selling this video from his web site. I bought a copy on VHS long ago.

     The Deathbed Vigil video has been shown at CommVEx and was also a raffle prize there, courtesy of Dave Haynie.  Yes, he still sells it on DVD, and it is also available on Amiga Forever DVDs from Cloanto.

                    Bil Herd has chosen not to watch it,

Bil Herd has chosen not to watch it,

Perhaps he's afraid he'd get too emotional?

     Yup, it would be a sad experience.

I hope you didn't misinterpret my post, Andrew. It wasn't intended as an indictment; I just thought people would like to know where they could buy it.

No, I didn't misinterpret your post, which is why I thanked you for posting the link.  But, I had a feeling that others might misinterpret your post, so my choice of wording was, in a sense, a way to cover my a**.  ;)

I've found that if you're not a good enough shot to hit the target with a rifle, use a machine gun. :)
