Even though Apple was great technology, IBM PC and Microsoft took the

Apologize to poke my nose into this discussion but AFAICR, Amiga was a
great technology. They were making color screens, video editing while
Apple was struggling with monochrome video...
Amiga failed because of bad decisions, bad campaigning, bad
advertisments. People are stupid. They think expensive means better
while it wasn't so in Amigas case. Besides, Amiga was well ahead of its
time. They were producing cheap, multimedia PCs which could multitask
in an age where computers were big giants with black and while video
outputs and monotasking machines...
