Amiga was before my time (not to mention the Commodore), but I am curious how they will implement their "digital detox" concept.
I had an Amiga 1000 back in the day. It had all the signatures of the makers on the inside of the case, including a paw print, I guessed for the dog that helped with debugging.
And if you pressed a certain combination of keys, and ejected the disk from the drive, it showed "We made it, Commodore fucked it up"
Now they have to just not fuck it up.
I'm curious as well. On the one hand, retro stuff doesn't need much power but the market is only for nostalgia and even there is a competition. On the other hand PCs and Macs dominate the market for powerful machines.
