- flohofwoe 6y agoWell yeah, but I still had a head start because I already knew that PCs were a crap architecture and I could focus on the Amiga instead as soon as I could get my hands on one ;) It goes much beyond the CPU architecture though, more important (and expensive) is the entire software ecosystem that needs to be built around such "non-standard" CPUs. From an economical pov it doesn't make sense to create a "computing island".
