Also, I wish they'd do something more than show
off paint programs...
Still, interesting bits of history--thanks!
One of the things that annoyed me greatly at the time was the brand name bigotry of the
pundits. You'd hear it all the time on Computer Chronicles. The Atari ST offered a
price performance ratio way beyond anything else available at the time and yet these
"experts" just couldn't get over the name "Atari." They
didn't even realize that the Atari ST had been designed by Commodore engineers while
the Commodore Amiga had been designed by Atari engineers, including the great Jay Miner
and that it shouldn't matter anyway what the brand label is on superior, low cost
hardware.
