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, 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.
