- mahmud 16y agoWow, I swung aaand missed. Yes, you're right. But I have a deep suspicion the OP also meant Osborne, unless Commodore too has a product introduction fail story.

- iuguy 16y agoThe Amiga 600 was a train-wreck, or as in the words of then Commodore UK MD David Pleasance, "a complete and utter screw-up". It was supposed to be 50-60$ cheaper than it's predecessor, the A500+ but worked out about 50$ more expensive than the A500, while missing a numeric keypad (which was used for flight sims and other software) and any true Amiga fan would've avoided as it offered nothing over an A500+ with the A1200 only 6 months away. To be fair, the latter part of Commodore's life (post-Tramiel) was a great exercise in how not to run a large company with a leading product.
