I think a machine with the best of the Amiga/Atari/Acorn/Mac (who did
I leave out?) that could support up to four(4) in the base design (no
extra support hardware needed to be purchased) would blow away the IBM
type PCs from the home and small business market. The fortune 10000
would always be owned by IBM if only because of their support
contracts and integration services.

What I don't understand is why IBM didn't just buy Amiga

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea. (or one of the others) who were certainly making a better
product cheaper.
IBM won because the big corporate and government buyers wanted something
with a well known office machinery manufacturer's name on the front, they
didn't give a rat's arse whet was inside as long as it was bought from a
bloke in a blue suit.
Any corporate buyer who consulted the Data Processing Department (who
remembers Data Processing Departments) would just be told 'Don't buy
personal computers, we can do anything they can do at half the cost'.
