Well, did Apple have all the money they needed when they started. There are people out there willing to take high risks with their money for the hope of a windfail return on investment. Also, CBM might have had to make some hard decisions on cutbacks in other areas to come up with the capital. One thing I firmly believe, is that given half a marketing chance, the superior technology of the Amiga would have been recognized by the computer market, and the Amiga would have taken off. I sure wish that Amiga Inc. could have just held out long enough to get the A1000 on the market and started making a little money. A small company like that has little to loose in taking risks, and everything to gain. When CBM bought them out, you had a well established company with a strong interest in preserving its previous gains and less willing to take the risks that could have catapults the Amiga to the very top.
