But it didn't work out, despite being better than what Jobs or Billy and Bally and a PC Cloners had to offer against it. There was emulation software to run PET, C64, VIC-20, etc software on the Amiga, not to mention PC (8088), Macintosh, Apple //, and others. I had an Amiga 1020 5.25" floppy drive that could read 360K PC/MS-DOS floppies, 1571/1541/PET C= floppies, and more. But Comodore could not shake that "Toy Computer" MOTIF that most people gave it. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

A quick search for 'Mehdi Ali Commodore' on Google turns up a number of opinions. Er, ok, just one opinion, put many ways :) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
