The problem is that both Commodore and the Amiga have strong images as a game machine company and that company's game machine. This is something which will hold the Amiga back in the business world. Apple (with the Mac) never had that problem, as their computer was priced so high that no one could consider it a game machine. Also it was an excellent innovation at the time. What it lacked was software, which the Amiga lacks today. Soooo, my point (which I think is based on a message about 5 back) is that if Commodore advertises the Amiga 500 with a kid playing a major role in the ad (as is expected), this may permanently solidify the game image. — Ethan
