I remember reading about it at the time. As I recall, some units had gotten in before the majority were seized. I have a CD32 ( complete with an SX-1 ) in my garage that likely was one of your display kiosks at one time.

I have never been quite as excited over a machine as when I got my Amiga 500. I had owned a Commodore Plus/4 and a 128 since middle school and high school, and bought the 500 to start college. It was quite an amazing little machine for it's day.

Then again, I haven't ever been 17 again either, so that might explain it.

Wow, I have a few cd32 discs in the basement somewhere - want them?

We would distribute burned CDs containing graphic, sound, and video/animation assets to the customers. This was '94, and if I remember correctly blank cds were something like $8-10 each (and the burner must have been close to $1000), and the burning process was so fragile that I'd burn discs at night just to try to prevent any possible issues due to vibration, or power fluctuations, or whatever other gremlins caused burn failures. I think we still had only like an 75%-ish success rate.

Fun time, though.

I remember when I had a C64, and my friend wanted a computer for xmas, and we were pestering his had to get the 128, which was the best computer we knew of at the time. Then on xmas day, he got an Amiga 500! We didn't even know about those. He was pretty happy. I was pretty bummed I only had a C64.

I first had a C64 and then an Amiga 500 ... those were some of my best memories as a child/teenager. My experiences with these machines undoubtedly led me to being a Computer Scientist as an adult. There will always be a place in my heart for Commodore.
