Anyway, happy birthday, Commodore 64! Too bad your parents (Commodore)
didn't know their a**es from a hole in the ground when it came to promoting
you and your siblings (Amiga
500/1000/1200/2000/2500/3000/4000/CDTV/CD32)....<sigh again>.

Hi Russell :
Thanks for the bait . Those of us that attended 'World of Amiga'
shows and spent time speaking to Commodore Rep's might disagree
with you (and then some) .
Bill Gates is a very rich man and did not get that way by being
a nice guy . 1984 & if you had the opportunity to work with ;
1) Macs
2) Commodore
3) Windows
you would have run away from Windows because it was/(is still)
a pig . Seriously . I walked out of a meeting one time due to
the fact I could not bare to sit and watch Windows reboot and
load Excel yet again . Honestly , un - fucking - bearable .
Sounds crazy , but I lent the Engineering company my Mac Plus
while I worked away on my Amiga , but when I asked for it back
a few times , they obviously did not want to let it go .
I let myself in one night with the key I still had (I had
moved on) but tripped the silent alarm . Cops with hands on
guns surrounded me as tried to make off with my Mac (no bull).
The cops let me go with my (no hard-drive) Mac . Of course I
immediately explained to my previous employer that they simply
needed to drop 386-Windows and just buy some Macs ! They did .
Those amazing days of the Amiga ! Man O' Man !! They are gone
and will never be seen again . Killed dead , not due to an acc-
ident or any kind of marketing neglect on Commodore's part .
far from it ... but hey ! OJ is innocent!! WOMD ... DUCK !!!
(shhhh ... everyone go back to sleep)
