- What killed the Amiga was quite the opposite: "You can design new chipsets all
- you like but we're not going to use them". "Let's replace our best-selling
- product by a lesser model at a higher price".
-
- Why don't *you* tell us what would save the Amiga? "We're 100% Windows users
- here! We hate the Amiga! Personally, I hope to build an Amiga that couldn't
- compete with the A600 if we gave it away for free!" Is that more like what
- you'd like to hear?
