Even though Apple was great technology, IBM PC and Microsoft took the market. Why? Because, despite many problems, people show value in buying PC over MAC.
Apologize to poke my nose into this discussion but AFAICR,
This is a public list and is intended for people to poke their noses and air their opinions. You will have to apologise for not poking your nose ;-) ( ok the rest of u that was joke - dont send 700-3 apology mails).
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.
Amiga did not fail it has morphed into the ARM one of the great successes in the small footprint 32 bit processors. More than those i think they were too early to market. One of the Amiga machines was faster running interpreted basic than the latest IBM PC running assembly in a Byte mag bench mark.
People are stupid.
Yea i suppose so - particularly when they dont buy your hot new product.
