ÚÄÄøú. Greg Goodwin whispered this to John Guillory...
³ I think all and all the Commodore (both C-64 and Amiga) were decent computers
³ I have a few.  :)
ÀÄÄ.úø Out of the stillness, john guillory said this...

(I know old post), but was just thinking about what you said...  Yes, I agree
with you in that Commodore Computers where decent.  For the most part, all of
them...

1. VIC-20 -- Very Expandable, nice games, cheap as heck even in its own time,
             easy to get started out (can start off with a tape drive, get a
             disk drive, add a modem, add another disk drive, upgrade to the
             Commodore 64.....
2. C64 --    Probably more languages available for the Commodore 64 than any
             other computer system, but then again in the time folks learned
             all languages to be able to learn computer languages.... Many
             users learned assembly language and knew lots about every inner
             memory location of their Commodore 64!
3. C128/128D -- CP/M mode -- Not popular in its time, 128 mode, again not that
                popular in its time... GEOS128/GEOS64, 64 mode .... Very
                very popular, had the C128d been continued, it could have been
                the Macintosh of today.  Who knows, Bill gates might not have
                gotten where he is today.....
4. C64c   -- O.k. We're back-stepping a bit.... Going back to the C64 with a 
             high-tech look and a cooler design... About the only good is 
             it was cheaper than the 128 and basically they stopped selling
             the original c64's....  Otherwise the same as #2
Various Amiga's

     Amiga sported very impressive graphics, a nice GUI Operating system,
bootable Operating system allowed you to upgrade to newer operating systems.
Amiga folks loved to brag about the power of the "Amiga", yet when you look
at the specs on an Amiga they allways say "Yeah but that's a 500... It's
crap...."  O.k. So you don't consider the 500 an "Amiga", we
then look at the
high-end Amiga systems they want to brag about and consider the price....
"But you claimed you can get an Amiga that can do all this for $___" then
they reply "The only Amiga you can get for that price is the 500, used, which
no one wants..."  Oh, o.k. so the Amiga is very pricey.... ;-)  Just funny  
how Amiga owners like to pick and choose modals to compare from... They want
to choose the cheapest Amiga to quote prices from, pick the most expensive
Amiga to quote the graphics specs from and the cpu specs, etc...
