First store-bought mass market 'puter was a TRaSh-80 Model I. Followed
by a PET 4032 then a PET 8032, CommodeDoor 64, an Amiga 2000 and after Gould and Ali did in Commodore, an original IBM-PC.
wow forgot all about the Tandy, nuf said there
I also went down the Amiga path, loved my 500. always
wanted a 1200 but never happened (appart from in winUAE)
lol.
My last Amiga was a 4000 - but, dumb-ass me hot swapped a printer and
blew the wave-soldered/surface mounted CIA chips. And then it was good
for use as a door-stop. The old 'Miggus had socket mounted CIAs - and
yes, I changed more than one of them. Bv)>
... Amiga made it possible. Commodore made it dead.
some very bad business choices by Commodore..the 600 for eg.
my first BBS was on my 500 running 4dBBS then Transamiga in the hay
day.
They were both finance guys, not confuser folks. There was an inquiry
into Medhi Ali short-selling his own company on the stock exchanges.
He and Gould made money off Commode Door on the way up - and even more
on the way down.
