Even though I believe this is way out of topic, you are way wrong. Commodore 
went out of business due to faulty management. They did next to no 
advertising and there was alot of scandal involved in their corporation...
As far as graphics and sound, I am using a stock A2000 from 1985 (with the 
exception I have a 68020), and it hasn't been up until the last couple of 
years that ANY other platform of home computer has been able to beat what I 
have sitting in front of me. Sure, it cost a hell of a lot more than IBMs 
back then, but like I said, it is still one hell of a machine..
Please actually know what you are talking about before blabbering like a 
fool. (Meant in the most non-offensive way possible).
Thank you for your time.
