Welcome aboard!  I surprised you don't have a B-128 to go with the rest of your "stable."

In my opinion, Commodore signed their own death warrant when they got started with the Amiga.  A huge investment with a miniscule payoff.

"In my opinion, Commodore signed their own death warrant when they got started with the Amiga."

Probably... Ending 80's global computer market was starting move to 16bit so C= must to do it. Amiga was the best 16bit home/semi professional computer in that momentand for several years. I think that Amiga wasn't the problem, managing was the real problem. The technical force at C= (engineers, designers..) was in the right way offering new computers with more "addons" and logical evolutions but managers took the wrong way & decissions (newer models that was the same that replace A500+ & A600 is only a example), than bencame on C= end.

But i think that the C= 8bit are the best 8bit in the world!!!! Nothing can surpass the C64/128

     I agree.  Management killed the company while engineers, like Dave Haynie, struggled valiantly to keep going.
