I owned an St when I was a teenager, I still think it stands a lot in the shadow of the amiga. I was excited to read a bit more about the background story (I know bits and parts of it), but this article is terribly written. It is very incoherent and different characters are mentioned at random without any relation to each other. It almost feels like a row of (only marginally related) bullet points that seem to have been pulled together from different sources. There are lots of grammar mistakes kissing definite and indefinite articles...) which makes it very hard to follow. As a note to future writers, if you put together a story like this and seemingly start with a "main" character, don't just start talking about other characters (also companies) without telling how they relate to the main characters.

The way it was written made me question if they had used gpt-3. Lol

Same here. I had an Atari 8-bit and couldn't wait for the Amiga to be released. The ST fell short of expectations but was still lots of fun that I couldn't get with the 8-bit like Megamax C and Minix. Gem was fine but not that exciting and I had the higher res monochrome monitor so not many games just Magaroids and Balance of Power. I read the post as a fairly complete collected history and overlooked the incoherence. There were some details I didn't know or had forgotten. I had a good view of the Atari side of things as I had connections that got first ST units and early beta software and programming docs.
