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.
