Talk:History of the Amiga

message: Notice of removal
In 2011, Commodore USA, which bought rights to the Commodore and Amiga brands, announced a relaunched and updated Commodore 64 model, and said they also planned to release updated Amiga models.http://www.twice.com/article/466478-Rejuvenated_Commodore_64_Back_On_Sale.phphttp://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_Amiga1000.aspxhttp://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_Amiga2000.aspxhttp://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_Amiga3000.aspx
CommodoreUSA has not released any Amiga products neither it is sole owner of Amiga brand.
AmigaOS is owned by Hyperion and Amiga name by Amiga Inc. CommodoreUSA has licence to produce
all in one keyboard computers named Commodore Amiga announced to be with AROS, but has not made any.
Note that this computers will not be able to run AmigaOS, MorphOS and will not support AROS
so they are not to be considered Amigas.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.175.89.216 (talk) 22:09, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Original research. We are not here defining what is 'Amiga'. I don't see this section is contradicting with sources so I undid your edit. Xorxos (talk) 17:41, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry, but a Wiki is not considered a reliable reference here. We need to go by what are considered verified reliable sources, which usually means published sources and sources that demonstrate some form of editorial oversite. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 03:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: New Commodore Amigas

message: I just read over what I have self written and find that it comes of as a bit negative - IOW tends to focus on the negative side of the Amiga's history. This was not intentional but the Amiga's / Commodore's negative happenings are just better documented. Can someone dig out some positive Amiga news (say 'record profits from Amiga sales', Commodore outsold XYZ this x-mas - I believe AmigaCD outsold PC-CD at some point?, perhaps add a paragraph about NewTeck? ...) and mangle them into the article.--Anss123 11:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hehe, "mangle". There is no "c" in NewTek if anyone is rushing to search for it. I dare say there's a lot we could add to this article to balance it out, I'm scatalogically messing with most of the Amiga articles as I can. There's a lot of info out there these days, seems every man and his amiga has set up a "History of the Amiga" page. --Monotonehell 22:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: A more positive spin?

message: In the 1985-87, The early years section, it refers to Commodore launching the Amiga in July 1985 as the successor to the C64. However, in January 1985 Commodore introduced the Commodore 128, and the article for that states that it is also the successor to the C64. So some clarification to these two statements would be beneficial. John a s (talk) 09:39, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  1985-87, The early years - C64 successor 

message: I edit sentence "In July 1984, Atari was bought by the recently fired CEO and founder of Commodore, Jack Tramiel, who was taking a substantial number of Commodore's employees with him.[7] He offered $500,000 which must be paid back in one month or Atari would own all of the Amiga technology. It was agreed on of desperation.[2]" since there is no mention of Jack name in reference http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/08/a-history-of-the-amiga-part-3/3/ from link: "CEO Dave Morse gave presentations to a number of companies, including Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Philips, Apple, and Silicon Graphics, but the only interested suitor was Atari, who lent the struggling company $500,000 as part of a set of painful buyout negotiations. According to the contract, Amiga had to pay back the $500,000 by the end of June or Atari would own all of their technology." Atari Inc. (predate Jack Tramiels Atari Corp.) lend money, not Jack. More about this topic you can find in book "Business is Fun" by Marty Goldberg and Curt Vendel with original contract. If someone have time it would be nice to have complete topic covered here on wikipedia, I am not native english speaker.

message: Jack Tramiel was not get fired from Commodore like it was stated in article ("In July 1984, Atari Inc. was bought by the recently fired CEO and founder of Commodore, Jack Tramiel"). Jack resign Commodore after arguing with Irving Gould: InfoWorld 13 Feb 1984, page 81.

This article, History of the Amiga, have many references to JEREMY REIMER articles which are fundamentally WRONG! His article falsely claim that Jack Tramiel make infamous deal with loan with Amiga Corp. ("This poisonous deal was put together by none other than Jack Tramiel") https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/10/amiga-history-4-commodore-years/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calimero (talk • contribs) 00:10, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

message: There are two sections named "1990-93: Height of popularity" and "1992-94: Trouble ahead". The year ranges overlap by one year. JIP | Talk 17:06, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: As there was no info about 1993 (except a mere mention of CD32), I changed the section title to 1990-92. Feel free to revert/change. Pavlor (talk) 13:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
