It's all relative; Commodore sounds like it was nirvana compared to Atari!

Kind of wild to imagine an alternate universe where Commodore and Atari were still big names in computing. Would have loved to see the Amiga continue to grow, it seemed so ahead of its time.
Commodore probably got more pleasant after Jack Tramiel left to go run Atari. Unfortunately it got left in the hands of Irving Gould, who treated the company as his personal piggy bank and looted it til there was nothing left.
