I'll stack the C128's colors + sound next to the //c any day, even though they both died. Plus it had 3 OSes to choose from. Pretty cool.
Honestly pre-1991 C='s hardware was solid. Post 1991 it quickly became dated (and C= sat on it pretty much from the day they either made it or acquired it). The 90s ate Commodore's lunch. Leadership was tragically clueless.
80s, though? They had the best-selling computer before the invention of the iPhone.
@amigalove@limi Don’t get me wrong. I will admit I never used a Commodore 128, but I had friends with the C64 in the 80s and it was great. And Amiga, of course, was a full decade ahead of its time in some ways. Video Toaster!
But I’m saying that an ad campaign like this betrays a mindset at a company that is destined to lose.
@gruber@limi I tend to agree with that sentiment. Their marketing dept (and R&D) seemed so incredibly broken by the late 80s. And their complete lack of knowing what to do with Amiga has been chronicled ad nauseam.
Fun chatting with you, Gruber. I’ve been a fan and DF regular since before the original iPhone. (I became a big Mac guy during the dot com boom of the late 90s.) ☮️
