- detritus 4y agoYes, and Commodore is absolutely an American company. I wish the Amiga had been British! :)
- lambic 4y agoMaybe OP is thinking of the Acorn Archimedes, which was also a fantastic computer and was very British.
- detritus 4y agoI wish I'd appreciated the Archimedes at the time. I didn't. It was a nerdy computer in the IT department at school. A stupid shame for me to realise how wrong I was, so belatedly, given my first computer was an Acorn Electron (then a Spectrum before Amigas). I should have paid more attention to Just How Cool Zarch was, versus the Also Cool Virus on the Amiga. I still plan on buying an Archimedes if I ever get around to having a proper house and making myself a nerd room... .
