- They cannot "lead" by any measure unless the technology they have
- is ready to do the leading. Which it is not. Time is needed.
- So they can only provide products that are affordable and better
- than what we have now, but not leading products. (These are not
- always necessary - a PC isn't exactly "leading technology"
- either.) AT has to keep the die-hard existing user base happy
- for another year, until a PowerPC Amiga is out. This should be
- possible. Without it's user support, the Amiga would have died
- a thousand times already.
-
- The only time when it was possible to make the Amiga one of
- the absolute market leaders like the Mac, was in 1985, when
- the technology was ready and ahead of its time. Commodore let that
- chance slip by, by asking too high a price.
