Anyone know why the Amiga system died?
I've seen so much about it on the 'net over
the years, people loved it.

Commodore imploded. They couldn't figure out how to adapt to the market
after the C64. So they bought the Amiga, made PC clones, floundered and
then went bankrupt. There is a group who bought the rights to the name and
patents and are trying to resurrect it. Who knows if they will succeed? I
don't hold out much hope.

They were the opposite of Microsoft: Good technology, but no
business sense.

I got one of the first Amigas to be brought into Toronto, after
being on a waiting list for a couple of months.
When it came out, one of the newspapers interviewed the
president of a consulting firm (I think their name was Encore)
whose purpose was to set up computing environments for
businesses.
His response was (I'm paraphrasing):
"There is no use for colour in business, and multitasking
is just a toy."
That's the reason the Amiga died. People in positions of
authority, with no imagination. At that time, if IBM
didn't do it, it wasn't necessary. Do you remember the
hoopla when the IBM PC finally did colour. It was
heralded as a great advance in computing.
