Meanwhile, the Amiga had the Boing demo in 1984, months before the system was actually sold. Smoothly liding screens and multitasking, baby.

Also, stereo sound and nice visuals but that's not the point here.

That "Smoke on the Water" MIDI tune playing through speakers at the computer shop... I cannot explain how amazing that was.


I was kind of pissed that my parents sponsored getting a 386SX with Windows 3.1 alongside DR-DOS 5, instead of an Amiga, as everyone else on my group, in hindsight they bet on the right system.

To note, the hardware required to get OS/2 running would have added 1 000 euro more in today's money.

A couple of years later Comodore was gone and the history has been racounted endless times.

Still we don't give up keeping it alive somehow.
