Commodore Business machines was a business employing
competent and inventive engineers but the guy to took it
over was a financier and he took it into bankruptcy in 1994
to get his money back.  Doing so he killed a good but simple
GUI Interface though you can get some Amigas today, paying as
alway a premium, as well as emulators for Window and Linux.
But I learned enough about computers from AmigaOS to move
to Linux without much pain but the bean counters have killed
a lot of great things.
