The Amiga 500 promo video (1987)
BackBack in the dark days of DOS computers, all you had to work with your computer were white numbers on a black screen. To do any simple function, you had to write a long line of complicated code. No GUI's! For the novice, it was horrible.
Then, one day I saw a video for an Amiga 500 computer and I was hooked! Out went my crappy DOS-system and I bought an Amiga. Suddenly I could do easy lists of all my videos but most of all I could do quality video titles, animations and more. And until the iMac came out with easy digital video, THIS was the way to go! I used mine for years. Step back 20 years and visit the future with the Amiga 500 computer!
(See the Amiga 2000 Demo elsewhere in my listings.)

Gerodinis,
On top of that, Commodore made it feasible for the average person to own a computer in their home.
The cost blew the competition out of the water, and not only was it cheaper, it was nothing short of a marvel offering an unprecedented amount of performance and functionality that had not been seen in a home PC until that date.
Read On the Edge: the Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore if you ever get a chance.
You won't eb able to put it down.

Damn that was quite impressive for 1987 standards... Could somebody do the same things on a 286 or 386 PC? I don't think so.

The book is a sometimes gritty, and and always honest tale of the beginnings of the IT world we know today.
All the backstabbing, failures and of course accolades of IT history are presented in such a way as to not really slag anyone, and keeps you glued to the pages.
