Wasn't that interesting? Back then, I never paid any attention to Amiga, as I thought it was a game platform. (Hell, I was having enough problems with my K-Pro and DataBase ll.) A lot of it was over my head but, I find the history of a product or process a pleasure to read.
In 1953 at the age of 16, I read in Popular Science about the Dvorak keyboard. Since the year before, my father and I had discussed how backward, aka awkward, the layout of the Qwerty keyboard was ... it piquid my interest at once. They mentioned that Royal Typewriter was making a model of their portable typewriter with a Dvorak layout. I had a few hundred in my savings account from my paper route so, I cranked up my '40 Mercury Tudoor sedan and went to downtown Fort Worth to the "Type Writer Shop". A very "top of the line" typewriter was about $125.00 then. A portable Royal typewriter, at that time, was a most excellent product of top quality. DU' Whut? Nobody even knew what it was. So much for the mechandising department's programs and the dumb ass at the point of sale. What was the relationship with the Commadore and the Amiga?
