See, this is the difference in our way of thinking. I take the reliability of an company into account. And as far as the Amiga is concerned, it wasn't created by Commodore - it was created by Amiga. Amiga then was bought by Commodore.

From http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/prototypes/lorraine.html
At that time, it was called Lorraine and it wasn't finish i.e. "The prototype consisted of four breadboards that were cabled together, requiring it's own seat on the plane"
Commodore initiated a number of changes that would upgrade sections of the design, make it cheaper to manufacture, and increase the speed of development:
the modem and cartridge port disappeared Memory was upgraded from 128k to 256k double-sided 3 1/2 disk drive was introduced as standard, ignoring the 320k IBM unit. Finally, the initial OS, codenamed CAOS, was discarded in favour of the integration of TripOS and Intuition The logic ICs were finalized, creating the familiar Amiga chipset (recursively known as OCS - Original ChipSet) Last edited by Hammer on 06-Sep-2010 at 02:55 PM.
