"Compared to Europe these Commodore machines were never as popular in the United States, where consumers preferred the superior computing power of IBM clones and other PCs." That's hilarious: up to mid-'90's, a P. C. tin bucket was vastly inferior in hardware capabilities compared to even a basic Amiga 1200, let alone an A1200 with a Blizzard accelerator or an A4000. An A4000 ran circles around her contemporary P. C. bucket, and an A4000 with a Cyberstorm accelerator ate P. C.'s for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because the underlying P. C. architecture is unchanged to present day, it will never be anything more than a tin bucket. It still has 64 KB memory segmentation, branch prediction security exploits and the like garbage ticking deeply in its bowels because it's conceptually inferior to an ATARI ST or a Commodore Amiga, to say nothing of being inferior to Sun and SGI architectures. It will always be inferior because it's based on inferior concepts and inferior hardware architecture. It's a tin bucket KLONK KLONK. Hear that metal sound?
